  1. Note in the chapter the identifying characteristics of liberals and conservatives. Go back through previous chapters and add other identifying qualities to that list.

See if there are any items on the list that seem to characterize your beliefs. Consider how actual individual opinions falling into more ambiguous areas than the traditional liberal-conservative typology.
