The Quiz in the Classroom

I absolutely love your political quiz. I use it to help students understand their own political stances and the political climate of the United States. I have found the quiz to be amazingly accurate and an invaluable tool for my political philosophy courses.

While there are many sites on the Web that profess to tell you your political views, this one actually does a fairly good job and, as claimed, it is incredibly short! This is a fun way to get more information on the different political ideologies…

Don’t let the shortness of the quiz fool you into thinking that it can’t provide an accurate impression of your political perspective.
