I can't seem to find any embed codes on this political typology test so I'll just post a screen shot of my results.
To enlarge it just click on the image. It says I scored as a New Coalition Democrat.
I've never heard the term actually. If it means I'm a new kind of Democrat then I'm not so sure of that. If it means I'm a moderate Dem then sure I agree with that.
What's interesting about the results is it lets you compare your group to others on certain issues. The whole thing takes about a minute and worth checking out, just to see if you fall where you think you might. I think where I differ and what surprises me most is my relationship to the New Coalition Democrats and social issues.
34% favor allowing gays to marry
71% favor gun control
56% favor keeping marijuana illegal
I don't fit into those at all. I support allowing gays to marry. I support 2nd Amendment right to own guns and believe it's more important than controlling guns. I also support legalizing marijuana. I guess I'm surprised that "New Democrats" would be opposed to all that, especially gay marriage and pot.
