You are not your politics

Political opinions should not be constituent to one's personality. Some people use their political opinions to define their personality/persona. People will introduce themselves as being a progressive like it's their MBTI horoscope or something. No. You being a ā€œprogressiveā€ is a way to describe your philosophical beliefs about government and society. Not some personality type indicator.

It's true that some personality types have similar political views, but that's not typically how I see it being used.
