cool little test that gives you the three people you agree with most (as far as what they've said). it even tells you, specifically, which questions you side with each candidate on. take the quiz, take a screenshot, and let's see what you get.



i was surprised that I got Obama for the economy- typically i like Romney, because he's pretty fiscally conservative. it could be a reflection of the limited questions, though. I was not at all surprised I had Huntsman and Paul, however. I'd love for them to be running together.

I got the same results (order), just answered a few questions differently than you.

Also, I agree that Paul & Huntsman would be a decent pair.

Mine was
1. Obama
2. Mitt Romney
3. Ron Paul

What I didn't like was this quiz seemed to have questions where you couldn't just straight up say no or yes. Like on the topic of homosexual marriage, I picked "my views on homosexual marriage are constantly evolving, but I believe there should be no law banning gay marriage". My view won't evolve, Mr. Quiz.

Meh, this is kinda crap, if you've been paying attention to what these candidates have been saying, then you know which candidate is tied to which soundbite. They needed to find someway to obfuscate the quotes without changing the underlying belief that inspired them to get fully honest answers.

well it's just a silly little test, i wouldn't expect a ten question survey really has a good indication of where you stand on the whole.

you can avoid bias by not being biased. look at the quote, if you agree, click it. if you don't, then don't. the only context is that which you make.

it's not scientific research data...

Of course



Well...not really. You cant just 'poof', make your mind clear and free from all associations. If i've seen/heard some of these candidates say these EXACT things (because they are taking them apparently verbatim from things the candidates have said) then how am I supposed to turn off the part of my brain capable of making these associations? I cant, and thus there is just NO way you can avoid being bias, or by knowing at least partly the context which these statements are made.




Clearly, which is why I probably should have not said anything at all.

Like you said, it's a silly little test. (especially since it listed my second as Perry. WTF?)

I don't see how you can test for what candidate is best for you when they are all lying and pandering.

fair enough. i guess i just find it easier to avoid the bias because i know this data isn't for anything and i can (of course, it's how i feel, and is certainly arguable) look at the statements as just a statement.

mine was:

obama
paul
romney
