Take a few minutes and take the quiz. Post results. Don't flame or get into protracted arguments over issues. This is about data and candidates as a whole more than individual issues.

Please note, it's possible to take the "base" quiz, or a longer one (many categories allow you to expand the list of questions on a particular topic). The longer one gives more accurate results.

I took the base quiz, and left a few blank. I plan on going back sometime soon after I've researched a few issues where I don't have a strong stance currently, and will also take the longer quiz at that time. Anyway, here were my early results:

B. Sanders: 85%
R. Paul: 84%
H. Clinton: 83%
50-60%: (in this order) Bush, Graham, Rubio, O'Malley
...anything below 50% isn't really worth caring about.
Lowest was Rick Perry at 17%

I didn't really know much about Rand Paul, so this has made me curious. On the rest, it's not too surprising. I'd trend almost libertarian on some economic issues, but social, environmental, and education issues tend to put me squarely with the Dems these days. It's generally a wash on things like foreign policy and a couple other areas, so there are at least a couple (like Paul and Bush) that it seems wouldn't be the worst for my views.

Quite surprised that I side with Rand Paul on only 58% of issues. Thought for sure he'd be much higher than that. Instead, it seems I side with Marco Rubio on most issues (86%). Never even heard of him till now. Hillary was democrat sided with most way down list at 41%. No surprise there.


Interesting little poll.

I got Bernie Sanders... I'm not even American.

It also looks like only 46% of my state as a whole agrees with my views.

Bernie Sanders: 94%
Hillary Clinton: 92%
Martin O'Malley: 63%
Rand Paul: 60%
Ben Carson: 34%
Scott Walker: 23%
Carly Fiorina: 23%

There were other Republican candidates somewhere in the middle, too.

Top 3

Sanders 86%
Clinton 81%
Rubio 60%

Bonus: my % slashes are in line.

Rubio 83%
Rand Paul(wow) 79%
Mike Huckabee 75%
Rick Santorum 74%
Ted Cruz 74%
Scott Walker 73%
Hillary Clinton(shoot me) 68%
Ben Carson 65%
Bernie Sanders 60%
Carly Fiorina 58%

Centrist
Your political beliefs would be considered Centrist on an ideological scale.

^Wtf really?

We had something very similar in the UK for the general election called voteforpolicies. Certainly helped me choose between 2 parties.

Bernie Sanders: 94%
Hilary Clinton: 88%
Martin O'Malley: 69%
Rand Paul: 62%

Huge drop off from here:

Charlie Christ: 41%
Jeb Bush: 39%
Scott Walker: 21%
Ben Carson: 16%
Carly Fiorina: 16%
Ted Cruz: 12%

Bernie Sanders: 96%
Hilary Clinton: 82%
Martin O'Malley: 72%

Then also a pretty big drop:

Mike Huckabee: 31%
Rand Paul: 30%
Ben Carson: 19%


Supposedly I'd be considered left.

I made a thread like this, before. Love this site.

I'll take the quiz, in a bit. I'm positive it will say Bernie is my top pick around 80-90%.

HA!


Due to a lack of nuance in some of the questions (I wanted to write in my answer on many of the questions but that removes the "I side with" power of the quizzes), I didn't match up with any candidates, really. But I didn't like the answers for about half the questions.


Bernie Sanders: 69%
Hillary Clinton: 69%
Rand Paul: 67%
Scott Walker: 61%
Rick Santorum: 55%




Libertarians: 79%
on foreign policy, economic, and domestic policy issues.

Green Party: 76%
on foreign policy, social, domestic policy, immigration, and healthcare issues.

Democrats: 75%
on foreign policy, social, domestic policy, immigration, and healthcare issues.

Socialist: 75%
on foreign policy, social, domestic policy, immigration, and healthcare issues.

Republicans:53%
no major issues.




I want to get into the nuances of the questions.


Digi, would you mind if I did that in your thread? I ask because it would put the questions here and kind of taint anyone's opinion if they haven't taken the quiz yet.

I don't think there was a single question where I answered a simple yes/no except maybe the death penalty one, which I'm pretty adamant about.

@dudemon, that's fine, just use discretion. I'm surprised you didn't find more to your liking though. You know most questions have additional answers of you click the last option, right?

I got Sanders 90% and I'm a centrist.

Top Three:
H. Clinton - 88%
B. Sanders - 88%
M. O'Malley - 67%

Mid Three:
M. Huckabee - 53%
C. Christie - 41%
R. Paul - 36%

Bottom Three:
J. Bush - 13%
B. Carson - 8%
T. Cruz - 2%

"Your political beliefs would be considered moderately Left-Wing on an ideological scale, meaning you tend to support policies that promote social and economic equality."

How dare you. I'm insulted. But, really, you're a doodoo head because I stated:

"...I wanted to write in my answer on many of the questions..." which can only be accessed if you expand the answers by clicking the last option from the default. harumph! uhuh


Edit - I was listed as "centrist."

82% Hilary, 82% Bernie Sanders, 69% Rand Paul. I'm apparently moderately left.

There is one question I loved above all others:

"Should the U.S. remove references to God from currency, federal buildings, national monuments and other aspects of government?"

I didn't expect that to be on there, but I'm glad it is, because they do need to remove all religious references with anything to do with the government.

I didn't get that question, seems like questions rotate. Might take it again and see if I change by more than just a little.

I suspect that the questions are regional. Selected specifically to match your geographic, based on your IP, as a means to differentiate your from your peers.


It seemed keen on comparing me to Texas voters. I checked my IP: it's a Texas IP (I'm tethering, right now, and the IP I got is from Texas).

Interesting, though did you answer all the questions, because it didn't automatically show all the questions, sometimes you had to hit "show 5 more questions".

Also for those that don't know..the "other stance" option actually usually gives you a lot more specific responses to the question that you can choose. When it asked if you think able bodied people on Welfare should be required to get a job I chose the option of "no, but they should at least be enrolled in job training programs and actively seeking work".

That is what I chose as well.

My Top 5:

Bernie Sanders - 87%
Hilary Clinton - 80%
Martin O'Malley - 59%
Jeb Bush - 44%
Rand Paul - 30%

"Left-Wing - Your political beliefs would be considered moderately Left-Wing on an ideological scale, meaning you tend to support policies that promote social and economic equality."

Bernie Sanders 91%
Hillary Clinton 74%
Rand Paul 59%
Martin O'Malley 57%
Chris Christie 54%
Marco Rubio 52%
Donld Trump 51%
Mike Huckabee 51%
Jeb Bush 44%
Scott Walker 34%
Ben Carson 27%
Carly Fiorina 27%
Ted Cruz 27%

Hilariously, I don't identify as a Democrat. I'm more Libertarian-Socialist.

Oh yes, indeed. Economic equality by giving everyone a handout. Everyone deserves something for doing absolutely nothing but sitting on their asses and expecting government to take care of them! Yes, sir. That's true economic equality!

It's not like we don't have other policies that give people something for nothing. Ever hear of alimony? I'd love a candidate who was in favor of getting rid of alimony all together. I'd also drastically overhaul the child support system and the court systems as well which tend to favor females when it comes to custody. All that needs to change big time.

Seems like a shit ton of folks are getting Bernie as their top candidate...

BERNIE SANDERS 2016 LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Bernie's going to be a great POTUS and he has KMC to thank.

Maybe Bernie Sanders is the candidate the left has always wanted but was always too afraid to elect?

Left-Wing Libertarian
Your political beliefs would be considered strongly Left-Wing and moderately Libertarian on an ideological scale, meaning you tend to support policies that will reduce elitism and provide freedom and equality for citizens.

The only I came down hard on was immigrants

I wonder if they just have more of Bernie's political views logged into the website. It's a fairly reputable site, so I wouldn't think so. But a LOT of us seem to be pretty high on him. Maybe he's just the KMC candidate of choice, at least among respondents to this thread.

Bernie Sanders: 98%

Hillary Clinton: 93%
Martin O'Malley: 67%
Mike Huckabee: 43%
Rand Paul: 28%
Scott Walker: 18%
Carly Fiorina and Ben Carson: 15%
Ted Cruz: 5%

Well, even I ended up having him as my top choice but at a much shittier 69% agreement.


I want to break down the tax question they have to show why none of the answers are what I would choose. And I'm positive Bernie Sanders would agree with answer...mostly.
