Political Typology Quiz [Interactive Quiz]

The political typology quiz created by Pew Research consists of 23 paired statements.  Users select the statement that they most agree with it.  After responding to all 23 statements, PEW estimates the political ideology that best fits each user. The ideologies are PEW's categories of political viewpoints and NOT political parties.  Users can take the quiz individually or compare to colleagues.

In addition to starting discussion about Political Sociology, this quiz would be useful in a methods class to take about operationalizing and measuring "ideology". Do students agree or disagree with the way Pew sorts people? Could they improve it anyhow?
