The first political personality quiz I took understood me perfectly. I had been classified a 'social democrat' which relates to my undying love for Bernie Sanders, because he too is considered a 'social democrat' or a 'socialist.' The labels may be different, but they follow the same ideologies. The profile suggests that I dislike a 'small government' and that is true. My family didn't move to America in 2000 to trust a few people in how we would be allowed to live. We moved to America because it was the 'land of the free' but that is proven to be false.
With the upcoming elections, my family has posed different views on who they would be willing to vote for. Like me, my father has taken an interest in Bernie Sanders and had given him his vote in the early voting for the Texas primary. My mother, who unfortunately did not vote, has shown her support for Hillary Clinton. My brother, who remains undecided, has jokingly expressed his interest in the republican candidates, but the key word is jokingly. I fall slightly short of the age requirements for the general as I turn 18 two weeks after the election.
The second political personality quiz was also correct about my political view points. It had placed me near Gandhi on the compass, and I agree with his liberal view points. I consider myself to be very left when dealing with politics because of my views on topics that often show up, and I agree to the political compass's placement of me.
The third personality quiz has gotten me right on the dot. I received 'Solid Liberal' which was the most liberal you could get on their scale. I think some of the questions on this quiz didn't really make sense because they dealt with the 'success rate' of individuals and these are questions that people cannot accurately answer because we're exposed to such a small percentage of the population and we're not able to see how success works/how people achieve success in other parts of the country. But overall, I agree with what the personality quiz 'branded' me as.
Once again, I was not surprised with the results on the fourth and final test I took. I sided 96% with Bernie Sanders and 94% with Jill Stein, a member of the green party. I was surprised however to see that Donald Trump and I had 33% in common and Ted Cruz 20%. I would have assumed less with both of them, but I'm still happy with the overall results.
These tests/quizzes have only proved that I'm as liberal as I say I am.
I'd like to end this post with my favorite motto.
