Which one of the following individuals would be most likely to vote?

A. A 19-year-old high school graduate who likes to complain about the government


B. A 22-year-old computer programmer





C. A 30-year-old college graduate who has just moved to a new state





D. A 50-year-old corporate executive who holds a master's degree in business

Which one of the following individuals would be most likely to vote?
Not really enough info to make an educated decision but I guess D.


Sry misunderstood question thought you meant vote for.oops.


Answers still the same.
Reply:c.
Reply:Just based on that? D. I would need a LOT more info to vote for anyone.
Reply:As a general rule, the likelihood of voting increases with age and intelligence.





So the 50-year old corporate executive is most likely to vote of those listed.





The 19-year old is least likely to vote even though you have profiled him/her as a complainer about government.





I know for sure this is true from TWO sources:





Statistics I have often seen through life.


My own personal experience with people, both young and older.
Reply:I think it is D, older people tend to vote more because I think they realize how important it is to be counted.
Reply:While I suppose it depends on how strongly they feel about what they're voting for, I would say B or D. The corporate executive likes to vote to make sure he can stay wealthy. The computer programmer is young and wants to see if he can improve his life now that he's out on his own. The teenager probably thinks his vote doesn't count or the government fixes the elections. The college graduate is too busy unpacking if he JUST moved to a new state.
Reply:Without looking at the answers, I choose B.
Reply:i'll go with A. being newly eligible to vote, the appeal to do so is there. hopefully, an 19 year old would have learned (recently graduated) that one way to change existing policies and practices is to VOTE for someone who is promising GOOD CHANGE.
Reply:I'd go with C
Reply:I would say C as well, but maybe A would as well. I first voted at 19, because of the same reason.
