Full dataset from survey on relative partisanship used in Atsusaka, Yuki, & Kim, Seo-young Silvia (2024). Addressing Measurement Errors in Ranking Questions for the Social Sciences. Political Analysis (conditionally accepted). https://osf.io/preprints/osf/3ys8x

This data contains Americans' rankings of four sources of their identity, including political party, religion, gender, and race, for 1,082 respondents. The columns consist of marginal rankings to the main identity ranking question and the corresponding anchor question, as well as whether they have answered the anchor questions "correctly." The anchor ranking question is used to estimate the proportion of random responses and to correct for measurement error bias.
