According to a new survey it looks as if Americans are more united than divided. Nate Silver (538) breaks it down. The questions cover a variety of issues, asking the participants to rate (on a scale of 0-10) whether they agree or disagree. You can take the test here.
Luckily, Nate does the hard work for us by charting the results.
If you’re having trouble picking up on a pattern in that data, that’s because there isn’t one. The correlation between the fraction of conservatives and the fraction of liberals agreeing to a given question is essentially zero.
Zero? Go on, take the 40 question test. I took it, and while I came out extremely progressive, I was surprised by how many times I didn’t chose either end of the number spectrum, 0 or 10. The Center For American Progress provides another interesting chart after you take the quiz. This chart – which, for some reason, I can’t copy – provides a more detailed breakdown.
So, grab your cup of coffee and take the survey. I’m interested in how everyone scores. BTW, my score was 330/400. The average score was 209.5
