Popis: We present polarisation properties at $1.4\,$GHz of two separate extragalactic source populations: passive quiescent galaxies and luminous quasar-like galaxies. We use data from the {\it Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer} data to determine the host galaxy population of the polarised extragalactic radio sources. The quiescent galaxies have higher percentage polarisation, smaller radio linear size, and $1.4\,$GHz luminosity of $6\times10^{21}Comment: 12 pages, 8 figures, accepted for publication into MNRAS
