Learning about My Views on the Government

I thought I knew where I stood on the political ground until I took three quizzes suggested by my Government Professor.  I am now taking this class to learn more about the history of Government, learn how it works and how I can make it work for my family.

After taking the three quizzes I learned where I stand politically and how much I really know about the current events of the Nation.  What I found out surprised me.  I am down the middle of Democrat and Republican, not really trusting of either side.  I support the need to help unemployed workers and I am very uncertain if the government is doing enough to help the people of this country.  I also found out I need to get filled in and more up to date on my current events.  The quizzes helped me understand my political views and showed me areas where I should be more open minded.  If you are interested in taking the quizzes to see where you stand the links are:
