Personality Type and Political Affiliation
We have fairly recently started asking people who take the Personality
Questionnaire about their political affiliation. We were able to
generate some interesting statistics from those who were kind enough
to offer this information.
These statistics were generated from a set of 1222 people. The average
age of participants was 25 years old.
