Recent observations of polarization of the violent variable quasar 0846 + 513 are presented. Observations of this object confirm that it is a highly polarized, highly variable quasar. It is found that while the position angle of the plane of polarization may remain very steady for extended periods of time, it is not constant. The observations place useful constraints on the source size, magnetic field strength, the presence of beaming, and the probable spectral shape in the unobserved spectral region between 2 microns and 2 cm.
