The Pew Research Center\u2019s Political Typology sorts voters into cohesive groups based on their political attitudes and values. The 2014 Typology<\/a>,\u00a0the sixth of its kind, has eight groups \u2013 from Solid Liberals and Steadfast Conservatives, to groups that hold more mixed ideological views, such as the Young Outsiders and Hard-Pressed Skeptics. Educators have often used the Political Typology as a teaching tool in high school and college classes about American government and politics, as well as social studies and research methods.<\/p>\n\n

This year, for the first time, we have created a version of our Political Typology quiz<\/a> that you can use to engage your students and so they can learn how their political views compare with each other and with the rest of the country.<\/p>\n\n
