Take the Political Compass Test

How in tune are you with your own personal political compass?

Fitting into the theme “Dare to Speak, Dare to Listen,” Olivia Petsche and Ryan Hurley worked together to utilize the popular The Political Compass test to create a visual of ISU students’ political alignments. Through this project, Petsche and Hurley hope to convey that although we live in a politically diverse climate, we are more alike than what the media portrays and the differences we do have should be celebrated.
