# Take Your Classroom Beyond Red vs. Blue

The Pew Research Center’s Political Typology sorts voters into cohesive groups based on their political attitudes and values. The [2014 Typology](https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2014/06/26/the-political-typology-beyond-red-vs-blue/), the sixth of its kind, has eight groups – from Solid Liberals and Steadfast Conservatives, to groups that hold more mixed ideological views, such as the Young Outsiders and Hard-Pressed Skeptics. Educators have often used the Political Typology as a teaching tool in high school and college classes about American government and politics, as well as social studies and research methods.

This year, for the first time, we have created a version of our [Political Typology quiz](https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/quiz/political-typology/) that you can use to engage your students and so they can learn how their political views compare with each other and with the rest of the country.

- [Create a group version](https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/quiz/political-typology/create/) of the quiz for your students.
