I know by now many have completed the Political Typology Quiz. What did Course Members think of the Political Typology Quiz (Links to an external site.) ? Is it accurate? When we take the Political Typology Quiz it becomes apparent that defining our political leanings along a single, one-dimensional left-to-right line is not totally accurate when we look at our individual political positions. The Political Quiz has added a second line to the equation to cover the social dimension of politics. That is where the authoritarian idea comes in. It is a way to categorize how we personally would like to manage our political philosophies. Is Liberal vs. Conservative a better way to determine how we feel on social issues?
