Here is the [23-question quiz](http://www.people-press.org/quiz/political-typology/).

I’m apparently a [Next Generation Left](http://www.people-press.org/quiz/political-typology/results/). I don’t fit their demographic that closely but it’s an amusing little diversion. What are you? GO.

Apparently, Solid Liberal.

But I thought it was a poorly worded quiz. Would you like bad choice 1 or bad choice 2. Hmm, I’ll take door number 3 please.

It’s a Pew Center quiz if anyone is curious.

</div>

Also next generation left. I’m not really in that demographic either ( too old).

</div>

another Solid Liberal, but there were quite few questions where I wasn’t satisfied with either choice.

Solid Liberal.

Actually, I’m a centrist. There was waaaay to much middle in those either\ore questions.

</div>

Next Generation Left. I consider myself strongly Democrat though. Their summary of me seemed pretty accurate, even if the for several of the questions I equally agreed with both options because I didn’t see them as opposites.

</div>

A lot of those questions really were terrible and I thought it would end up putting me somewhere in the neighborhood of the right. But alas, I’m a Solid Liberal after all.

</div>

As I said before, it moved me a couple notches away from what I consistently scored on the last version. My views didn’t change, it just seems that their new categories are unequally narrow/broad.

Solid Liberal too, and also thought the questions were too black and white.

Solid liberal, though I just skipped those questions (3 of them, I think) when neither answer was remotely acceptable to me.

I am astounded to report that I scored Solid Liberal. On reflection, I see that this is accurate, but I’m still surprised at the political change I have undergone between the ages of 50 and 60.

Next Generation Left. Very far off and leaning in the wrong direction.

I quit after the first five questions.  
There is no shading, no options except obvious right and left.  
In other words, nuance be damned, a rigged quiz.

It does appear to be rigged against moderates. Or maybe they think moderates don’t really exist.

This, except change the ages to 25 and 40.

I agree that some of the choices were pretty poor, I know I have some liberal views but I don’t think I’ve quite evolved to calling myself a liberal.
