Your task is to measure and then analyze your political belief system. You will begin by completing the 40-question Interactive Quiz: How Progressive Are You? developed by the Center for American Progress. This quiz (really, a survey) is online at https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/progressive-movement/news/2009/03/11/5709/interactive-quiz-how-progressive-are-you/. This list of 40 questions is also located on the course website. As you respond to each question, make notes about the questions on which you feel most strongly and also the ones that you find most difficult to answer. Your core task in the paper is to analyze your own political belief system, based on your responses to the 40 questions. Consider, for example, such questions as: what political domains have greatest and least salience? Which kinds of issues are most difficult for me to establish my views on, and why? Across many of these questions, what seem to be the two or three fundamental values that seem to most powerfully affect my response to these questions? How consistent are the beliefs with some underlying pattern of values? How are conflicts in underlying values reconciled? Important: You will not be evaluated on the content of your political beliefs they are yours and their actual content is not the point of the paper. The premium in assessing your paper is the quality of your thoughtful and cogent analysis of your belief system, as a political scientist who is examining a set of data. [Suggestion: you might call the person who is being analyzed that is, you So (for Subject Zero) in order to be more analytic and to distance yourself a bit more from the attempt to justify your beliefs (we do not want your justifications).]
