About the Political Typology Quiz

Pew Research Center’s political typology is a long-running study that sorts voters into cohesive groups based on their attitudes and values, rather than their partisan labels. In this way, it aims to “go beyond red vs blue” and provides a field guide to the changing political landscape. The 2014 Political Typology is based on the largest political survey the center has ever undertaken – a nationally representative survey conducted among 10,013 adults from January to March 2014. It identifies eight groups – from ones that strongly ideological, politically engaged and overwhelmingly partisan, to ones that are less partisan and less predictable. The Political Typology quiz shows is an online quiz that allows you to see where you fit into this political spectrum. Any information collected in any version of the Political Typology quiz will be anonymous and not personally identifiable; Pew Research protects our website users’ privacy. Pew Research Center is a nonpartisan fact tank that informs the public about the issues, attitudes and trends shaping America and the world.
