Beyond Red vs. Blue (Where Do You Fit? Take the Typology Test)

[Donald Rumsfeld Fan]

The typology study's finding of significant cleavages within parties not only runs counter to the widespread impression of a nation increasingly divided into two unified camps, but also raises questions about political alignments in the future. In particular, the study suggests that if the political agenda turns away from issues of defense and security, prospects for party unity could weaken significantly. As the following chapters detail, numerous opportunities exist for building coalitions across party lines on many issues currently facing the nation ­ coalitions that, in many cases, include some strange political bedfellows. Overall, there are many more shades to the American political landscape than just the red and blue dividing the Electoral College maps last Nov. 2.

BullDog is an “Enterpriser”.

[Old Sarge]

Disaffected.

But the poll is HOW old??

[Uncle Ike]

Disaffected, here, too...

Although some of the ‘characteristics’ were exactly opposite some of my “Strongly Agree” statements.....

Not sure what that means......

[Jeffrey_D.]

I’m the same,”Enterpriser”

[mlo]

“Enterpriser” here.

[Jeffrey_D.]

just a minute...

[wbill]

Well, Beam Me Up and call me "Enterpriser".

I suspect that there will be a lot of those here at FR.

[bgill]

First time - Enterpriser

Second time - Disaffected

The only difference was moving one answer from “agree” on one side to the other side “agree” so imo the test is hogwash.

[Little Ray]

IMHO, the survey is bogus.

With same answers, by changing my party affiliation or my political views, I was able to change between Conservative Democrat, Disaffected, and Enterpriser. Any “moderation” on my answer led to “Disaffected.” If I’m conservative, or Republican, I’m an “Enterpriser.” Any liberalism or Democrat affiliation, and I’m a “Conservative Democrat.”
