Chapter 3: Public Opinion and the Media

Surfing California: Internet Resources

Janda, Berry, and Goldman have developed a program, IDEAlog, which you can use to see how you fit into the ideological classification described in this chapter. To take their test, go to http://idealog.org/.

Advocates for Self-Government offers The Worlds Smallest Political Quiz, at http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz.html. Take the quiz. Your views will be classified using a scheme similar to that found in this chapter, except that what weve called communitarian is called authoritarian and there is an additional centrist category. Note that Advocates for Self-Government is unabashedly libertarian. Their terminology (like self-governing and statist) clearly reflects this perspective.
