Political Typology Quiz survey

http://www.people-press.org/quiz/political-typology/

In the political quiz thread, Goldwater the libertarian was placed into the Democrats and I was placed in the Republicans. I found that curious, so I'm particularity interested if other users end up with results like so.

[America Needs R'hllor]

Opportunity Democrats- Democratic-leaning and financially comfortable, Opportunity Democrats have liberal attitudes on most issues including the environment, immigration and homosexuality. They stand out from other Democratic groups in their strong belief that hard work is enough for most people to get ahead and for being somewhat less likely to see structural barriers facing blacks and women. They are supportive of U.S. engagement abroad and involvement in global markets.

Sounds pretty accurate, though I do think that there are many barriers facing women (and to a lesser extent today, blacks). Also, I'm definitely not financially comfortable, lol.

Opportunity Democrat whatever it means

Solid Liberals
along with 16% of the public
Highly educated and politically engaged, Solid Liberals hold consistently liberal values. They back a robust role for government and are strong advocates of the social safety net. Large majorities view the current economic system as unfair and see economic inequality as a major problem. They take broadly positive views of immigrants, and fully 99% think being open to people from around the world is an essential part of the nation’s identity. Most say more needs to be done to address both racial discrimination and obstacles to women’s achievement. They support same-sex marriage and believe homosexuality should be accepted by society. Solid Liberals are the most Democratic of all typology groups: nearly two-thirds (64%) identify as Democrats, another 35% lean toward the Democratic Party.

Your best fit is...
Disaffected Democrats
along with 14% of the public.

This majority-minority group mostly identifies as Democratic or leans toward the Democratic Party. Disaffected Democrats strongly believe the economic system unfairly favors powerful interests and that business corporations make too much profit. Relatively few believe their family has achieved the American Dream, and 24% believe it is out of reach for their family. Most say the government should do more to help the needy and that poor people have hard lives because government benefits do not go far enough to help them live decently. In contrast to other Democratic-oriented groups, a majority (63%) characterizes government as “almost always wasteful and inefficient.”

"Core Conservatives"

[Not a Partisan Hack ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)]

Disaffected democrats, doesn’t really suprise me.

I believe that the disaffected democrats and market skeptic republicans are just the populist sections of both parties.

[Horus]

Disaffected Democrat, though I don't share their constant skepticism.

[Mr. Reactionary]

"Core Conservatives"

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Disaffected Democrat.  I think that's accurate.

[fhtagn]

New Era Enterprisers

[DavidB.]

Market-skeptical conservatives.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

New Era Enterpriser.

They've changed the categories on this quiz.  I remember before they had a "Main Street Republican" one that seemed to fit me well.

Core Conservatives - This overwhelmingly Republican group holds conservative attitudes across a wide range of issues, especially in their support for smaller government. Core Conservatives are deeply skeptical of the social safety net and favor lower tax rates on corporations and high-income individuals. While they are divided on whether immigrants do more to strengthen or burden the country, Core Conservatives offer far more positive views of immigrants than do Country First Conservatives. Core Conservatives are relatively upbeat about national conditions and a majority says that the United States “stands above” all other nations in the world.

I agree with this categorization and am glad they recognize some of the nuance between different conservative groups on immigration. This is surprising given that the questions made no distinction between legal and illegal immigrants, towards whom my attitudes are very different. Overall, very accurate.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

"Core Conservative" though it places me near the middle on the ideological spectrum.

"Opportunity Democrat", as i expected..

New Era Enterprisers

This relatively young, economically conservative, Republican-leaning group tends to be relatively moderate on immigration and views about America’s engagement with the rest of the world. Most say U.S. involvement in the global economy is a good thing and that immigrants strengthen the nation. As is the case with other GOP-leaning groups, a majority of New Era Enterprisers reject the idea that racial discrimination is the main reason many black people are unable to get ahead. Nearly two-thirds favor societal acceptance of homosexuality. New Era Enterprisers are less critical about government than other Republican-leaning groups.

I would say this definitely fits me, but I would've liked more than two options on the questions.

[Thunderbird is the word]

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Core Conservative. I'm not sure how they cut these off exactly, but looking at the specific answers to the questions this group is somewhat more ideologically heterogeneous than its left-wing counterpart, the Solid Liberals.
