It's only interesting if you're not black, Hispanic or Asian. Everyone else is off to the left or if you're black the far left. If you're white then you can go all over. I didn't even get asked most of those questions. |

No questions at all about sexual orientation or level of education, nor did they ask me whether religion was important. After I put, "Black, Hispanic, or Asian", the pointer went far to the left and never looked back. |

I think if you are Jewish but don't care much about religion you are statistically almost certainly a Democrat, though we have a glaring counterexample on OTChat. |

Mine was laughable:+61 Democratic "Hispanic or Asian" non-protestant non-military younger than 42 with over 60k income. No interesting question. There should be a mixed option, or an option for Catholic, either would have skewed things Republican. The current left wing identitarian politics being chased by Democrats is just as toxic to mixed race people as far-right white supremacy is (seriously: white supremacists - sorry, you have non-white DNA, you are a lesser being. current lefties - sorry, you have white DNA, you have white privilege and thus should be treated as a lesser being). |

This is a horseshit quiz.When I got to the last question, I was at +18 Republican. When I answered that I'm Jewish, I swung to +28 Democrat. Utter bullshit. The quiz assumes that because a person is Jewish they will vote Democratic. They are many Jews who are disaffected with the Democratic Party - not only because of the "Squad" of lefty cunts who hate America and Israel but ever since the left championed Barack Obama, the long-time patron of Jeremiah Wright's church. In addition, the quiz doesn't ask if I'm a religious Jew or a secular Jew. Religious Jews are far more aligned with the right than with the left because the right is more supportive of Israel than the left, especially nowadays. Waste of bandwidth. I don't like being lumped in with other people whose views I don't share. I think independently - I'll vote for whoever I feel is the best candidate, Democrat or Republican. |

It's not an assessment or prediction of who you'd personally vote for. It's a statistical average of people that share certain similarities without asking any political questions.People that read the NYT and take the quiz skew liberal, so it's going to be wrong for a lot of their religious readers. And going from +18 one way to +28 the other is pretty decent. Neither are all that far from zero and substantiates that religious Jews do make choices on both sides of the aisle, just lean more one way. Regarding not asking if you're secular or religious, isn't the second question "Are you religious"? |
