What's Your Political Type?

The good people at Pew Research have put together an interesting quiz. You answer 16 questions, and then it tells you what political "type" you are (basically, where you fall on the left-right spectrum, as it exists in the United States).

We toyed around with it, and the thing that stood out to us is that you really don't have to be all that lefty to qualify as "far left" (Pew calls it "progressive left") in the U.S. It would seem the old aphorism, that the spectrum is shifted much further left in Europe, has some truth to it.

Anyhow, if you would like to take the quiz, it is here. They don't save individual results, so nobody will know how you answered, except for you. We did set the link up to be an Electoral-Vote.com "group," so you can see how you compare to Electoral-Vote.com readers, how you compare to the general public, and how Electoral-Vote.com readers compare to the general public.
