Module 4 Assignment 1: Political Belief Profile

The Political Compass Web site (http://www.politicalcompass.org) offers a self-test that helps you analyze your personal political views on what the test authors call a “left–right” scale. Take the test and review your results to see where you stand on the economic scale and the social scale. Discuss the results using the following questions:

• Did your “test result” match what you thought were your political beliefs?
• What is “politically correct” thinking? Give examples of what might be considered “politically correct” and “politically incorrect.”
• To what degree do you think your values and beliefs represent the norms, values, and traditions of society? Define your answer using the following Likert scale—extremely common, common, moderately common, uncommon, and extremely uncommon.

Write your response in 150–200 words.
