Then, write a brief essay (800-1000 words) on your political type, explaining whether it describes your views appropriately. Does it force you into a type that you think misrepresents your views? Explain. You may have to copy the links into a browser to be able to see it properly. This essay will require you to break from the usual rule of avoiding the 1st person–even so, remember to explain why your views coincide with or differ from the typology used.
