Here is a little quiz to help you decide who to vote for. It's different than other quizs, in that I found simple [yes] or [no] buttons a bit confusing, because sometimes you don't know the context of what you're voting for in the topic. For example, if you vote [yes] on the immigration topic, are you saying "yes, allow them", or are you saying "yes, deport them"? You have to know the context or slant of the topic! In the event that I myself got confused by this, all the top buttons are [yes], and the bottoms ones are [no]. Did I mix any up?

I tried to cover the talking points of both sides in 4 lines of text. The points I used are all things I've actually heard from people with that view, so I'm just telling it like it is! Just choose the view that's closest to your own, and see what you come up! You'll be surprised, it's almost guaranteed that the person you like now is not the most similar.

Because this quiz doesn't measure the "weight" of an issue, and some candidates miss out on points due to unknown positions, consider the results a "rough" estimate (consider the top 5 maybe?). I might add this feature in the future. I'll also release the source as soon as I'm not ashamed of my spaghetti code! Keep leaving suggestions, I'm listening!

"Test is a bit too rigid"

date: January 18, 2008

The test is a nice start and has room for improvement. I agree with the reviewer below that an answer format of "strongly agree, agree, disagree, to strongly disagree" would give a better, less opinionated result. Also the emphasis of the questions asked are not well-balanced. There are three similar questions on gay marriage while there is only one for universal healthcare (and social security).

Paul: 15
Clinton: 15
Romney: 14

I'd think they're quite different! Especially with Paul.

"Room for improvement."

date: July 24, 2007

You've got a lot of potential in this, if you decide to tweak a few things. The answers were too definate. It made it seem like there were only two options. Maybe a "Check all that apply" type thing would be better, but that may be a lot harder to work from your (the creator's) side.
This gets an 8 from me, and voted a 5. It's good, overall.

"insightful"

date: July 24, 2007

my top 5 that the database, if you will, has chosen for me are as follows
Hunter - 19
Romney - 16
Tancred - 16
Brownback - 15
Huckabee - 15

looks like i'm suited for a conservative bunch, which isn't surprising

if you want to know where you stand, just take your top 5 choices and research them and you'll get a look at whether you're Right or Left

"It's ok..."

date: July 24, 2007

I think that this could of been a lot better had you taken a centrist approach to making it. The way some of the questions were worded demanded that you either take one side or you suck.

Author's Response:

Hehe, yeah, I know what you mean. But what if it's true? Just kiding ;-) I've reworded the quiz a bunch of times already, trying to make the talking points realistic and fair. I'm neither a republican or democrat though. I'm against the war, but also against illegal immigrants, for example. I like Ron Paul, he's against Bush and Iraq too, but it turns out we don't have as much in common as I thought, like with abortion and gay marriage. I will keep working on it. I might just put the topic in a better form of a question, which would also fix the context problem I have with other polls, then have [support] [against]. Regardless if you can tell which one I support by the wording of the other choice, that wasn't my intent. I'll work on it!
