Detailed Political Typology Test
Located
http://typology.people-press.org/ The Political Typology is a longstanding effort to sort voters into homogeneous groups based on their values, political beliefs and party affiliation. It is run by the very respected Pew Research Center for the People and the Press. One of the more accurate surveys, I would encourage you to take it and share the results in your own LJ as I would be interested about the political spectrum of my friends. By the bye, this test would be accurate only for U.S. citizens though others may find it of interest.
Enterpriser
Based on your answers to the questionnaire, you most closely resemble survey respondents within the Enterpriser typology group. This does not mean that you necessarily fit every group characteristic or agree with the group on all issues.
Enterprisers represent 9 percent of the American public, and 10 percent of registered voters.
Basic Description
As in previous studies conducted in 1987, 1994 and 1999, this extremely partisan Republican group’s politics are driven by a belief in the free enterprise system and social values that reflect a conservative agenda. Enterprisers are also the strongest backers of an assertive foreign policy, which includes nearly unanimous support for the war in Iraq and strong support for such anti-terrorism efforts as the Patriot Act.
Defining Values
Assertive on foreign policy and patriotic; anti-regulation and pro-business; very little support for government help to the poor; strong belief that individuals are responsible for their own well being. Conservative on social issues such as gay marriage, but not much more religious than the nation as a whole. Very satisfied with personal financial situation.
Who They Are
Predominantly white (91%), male (76%) and financially well-off (62% have household incomes of at least $50,000, compared with 40% nationwide). Nearly half (46%) have a college degree, and 77% are married. Nearly a quarter (23%) are themselves military veterans. Only 10% are under age 30.
Lifestyle Notes
59% report having a gun in their homes; 53% trade stocks and bonds in the stock market, and 30% are small business owners - all of which are the highest percentages among typology groups. 48% attend church weekly; 36% attend bible study or prayer group meetings.
I only see two points I differ on. While I am against same gender marriage, I'm also against the Government even being involved in Marriage. Marriage is for religious institutions. I do favor the Government being involved in Civil Unions, which should be between any two humans regardless of gender. Also I don't own a firearm, after all I have several swords in the house, and they are so much more personal when dealing with intruders.
