Politics and Personality

I recently took this political personality quiz which I found to be quite interesting. Some questions I honestly wasn't sure how to answer (ex: Should trees be allowed to vote?). But overall, I found the results to be very fitting to who I am. The test said my political personality is an "Internationalist" promoting human rights and a global focus. I found the assessment that I have sensitivity to power inequalities to be very accurate. The test profile said a famous internationalist is Ghandi, which was flattering. I learned a lot about Ghandi through Academic Decathlon and think he is a great role model.

The second test I took was this Political Compass. This test didn't give me the option to skip questions, and sometimes questions are hard! Large questions about economic and global philosophy are often concepts I don't have fully formed opinions on. I thought the analysis this site gave about the need for both an economic and social aspect of political understanding was very interesting, and I was again not too surprised by my results.

Next I did the political typology quiz. I found these questions to be easier than the previous quizzes. Rather than ambiguous statements these were more direct. Yes I support the environment, immigrants, diplomacy, and social change. According to the test I am a Solid Liberal. One of the characteristics of this type is an optimism about the future as opposed to pure cynicism, which I think could be a result of my age. I'm 18 years old and voted for the first time this year, I'm going to be pretty excited and optimistic.

Finally, I took the ISideWith quiz. I had actually taken this quiz a few months ago, and I was interested to see it had been updated with questions that had become relevant talking points for candidates since I previously took it. My results however were the same. I line up most with Bernie Sanders on the issues, but also have a high match with Hillary Clinton. I wasn't surprised by these results.
