    80% Darrell Castle - though I've never heard of the guy. Constitution Party has a very nice ring to it, however.

    I turn out to agree, for the most part, with Evan McMullin, who doesn't stand a snowball's chance in the crater of Mount Etna to win, and second to him with Donald J. Trump, whose chances of winning are now at least even, if he is not in fact the odds-on favorite! Darrell Castle and Gary Johnson come in next. Hillary Clinton and Jill Stein come in dead last--single digits.

    or movin' to Texas gulf coast as that climate is much more appealing (assuming I stay in the states.) Even that is only a 12% agreement level, if I am reading the map correctly.

    Pretty much how I would of answered the extra questions and just about dead on with the standard ones...I see your a bit right of center which is where the country was intended to be.

    Oh...looks like you'll be "movin to Montana to grow your lonely dental floss"...

    The additional information shown below the candidate ratings are also very interesting.
    A. It places your views on a political scale of right-left, liberty vs authoritarian.
    B. Rates your views on political themes: privacy vs security, assimilation vs multicultural, Regulation vs Deregulation, Collectivism vs Individualism, Centralization vs Decentralization, Small Government vs Big Government, Traditional vs Progressive
    C. Shows Map of the US with color coded voter "agreement" with your answers
    Very interesting!
    Also shows how voters rank the candidates for the voters' most important qualifications:
    Integrity- Johnson highest rated
    Honesty- Johnson highest rated
    Intelligence- Johnson highest rated
    Leadership- Johnson highest rated
    Vision- Johnson highest rated
    Committment- Johnson highest rated
    Consistency- Johnson highest rated
    Communication - Stein highest rated

    Lots of other qualifications of lower importance to voters also listed.

    Results from my choices are here:

    I did the test with the gauge and without...it made a 5 point difference...didn't volunteer for more questions though.
    Funny, it gave me a 1 for hiltery and 1 for stein...shoulda been a 0.
    Yes, I got that impression about truthful planks and positions on issues of each candidate...they've all vacillated so much I think it would make the program crash.

    Did you answer ALL the questions? There are more than twice as many to answer if you click on "answer more questions" at the end of each section. Did you carefully gauge and mark the importance for each question? Did you look at all the other choices in addition to "Yes" or "No"?
    Edit to add the following----------------------
    I took it twice and only varied the importance of the questions from all medium to my actual position, and it made an amazing difference.
    Johnson dropped from 88% to 70% (1st choice both ways)
    Trump dropped from 80%(2nd) to 40%(3rd).
    Castle jumped up from 45%(4th) to 66% (2nd)
    McMullin dropped from 55%(3rd) to 36%(4th)
    Stein dropped from 32% to 17%
    Hitlery dropped from 13% to 4%
    End edit ------------------------------

    It is better than most "tests" for political views, although quite a few questions were worded poorly enough that I had to type my own answer. My guess is that those answers are not included in the comparison to candidates. There is no way to gauge how the test graded the candidates either, but I'd guess it is based solely on their current tale ignoring their actions in the past. That makes the test a poor tool for choosing a candidate since it must ignore whether the candidate's answers are truthful based on their actions.
    For me, Johnson was easily top choice even though I disagree with him on immigration and association issues. Hitlery was dead last with Stein slightly above her but far behind all other candidates. Guess that makes me a sexist in their irrational minds.

    85% Trump (I don't even like him) and the Independent, what's-his-name.

    Clinton and Stein barely even registered.

    Fun test, though!

    Believe it or not, after taking the most libertarian, constitutional view, clicking No to most... the program placed me with trump and about a 2+ point spread downward to Johnson.

    I got 88% Johnson, 79% Stein. I think Johnson promotes this site b/c it's reasonably accurate and if you ask people what they think most people are for the gov't doing less.
