Has any checked out this site? It has a quiz you can take to allegedly match you up with the Presidential candidate who best matches your answers. It also seems to be aggregating results to give an idea of who is more popular (on the site, at least).

Anyone have any opinion on the site?

I checked it out. It told me about a Candidate that I was unaware of the existence of.

There aren't enough answers that start with "No, eliminate all federal..." for this to be a valid test for me....

Apparently I agree with Barack Obama on 10% of no issues?

It's a bit wonky, but the result doesn't really surprise me much...

Jill Stein - 86%
Barack Obama - 83%
Gary Johnson - 74%
Mitt Romney - 30%

Economy - Obama
Domestic Policy - Johnson
Social - Johnson
Foreign Policy - Stein (almost certainly wrong, since I often favor military intervention, not just diplomatic stuff)
Environment - Stein
Health Care - Johnson (almost certainly wrong, since I generally support PPACA)
Immigration - Johnson
Science - Obama & Stein

So, yeah, the foreign policy and health care results seem off, but overall, I'd say this is roughly accurate for me. I'm pretty much a moderate Dem with libertarian leanings on domestic issues and interventionist leanings on foreign policy issues.

Apparently he's the Libertarian candidate (according to your first post). You were aware that there are other parties that field presidential candidates, right?

At least for me this test is a bit biased because I know this stances of my favored candidates well.

Spoiler:
97%

Mitt Romney Republican

on economic, social, domestic policy, immigration, healthcare, science, environmental, and foreign policy issues


84%

Virgil Goode Constitution

on social, economic, domestic policy, healthcare, environmental, science, and immigration issues


75%

Gary Johnson Libertarian

on economic, domestic policy, foreign policy, and healthcare issues


54%

Barack Obama Democrat

on environmental issues

51%

Ohio Voters

on economic, domestic policy, foreign policy, environmental, and immigration issues.


49%

American Voters

on economic, domestic policy, foreign policy, environmental, and immigration issues.
Problems:

This shows Obama as being for welfare to work, and expanding offshore drilling which I don't agree that he is. At the very least his actions don't point that direction.

also I have umbrige with the similarity of similar answers with pretty much every candidate. hopefully those are counting for less points

I took this a couple of months ago. I believe my order of preference was Gary Johnson (~75%), Ron Paul (~65), ... Barack Obama (~54), Mitt Romney (~30).

Don't overlook the fact that some sections have expanded questions you can also answer to get more accurate results. Figuring that out after the first time changed my numbers substantially.

Yeah, thanks for the heads up on the "Choose another answer" option. Most of my responses came from there:

Spoiler:
86%
Jill Stein Green
on environmental, economic, domestic policy, science, social, and immigration issues

76%
Gary Johnson Libertarian
on foreign policy, domestic policy, healthcare, immigration, and social issues

75%
Barack Obama Democrat
on environmental, economic, immigration, and science issues

69%
Rocky Anderson Justice
on domestic policy, social, and immigration issues

12%
Mitt Romney Republican
no major issues

10%
Virgil Goode Constitution
no major issues

63%
California Voters
on foreign policy, environmental, domestic policy, healthcare, science, immigration, and social issues.

62%
American Voters
on foreign policy, environmental, domestic policy, healthcare, science, and immigration issues.


I am a bit surprised at the Libertarian result, however. 76% Lib, 75% Obama? Kind of schizophrenic.

And, yeah, who the hell is Rocky Anderson?

He was the Mayor of Salt Lake City for awhile, and mostly a total left sided tool. He did some good things for the city though, so it wasn't all bad.

That was 97% Johnson ;) (http://www.isidewith.com/results/15547175) I was looking up mine, and found your tweet.

I was 98/73/13 Johnson/Romney/Obama. (http://www.isidewith.com/results/123400131)

How can you side within 15% of Gary Johnson, Mitt Romney and Baraka Obama? That makes no sense.

Yes, I said Baraka, the Tarkatan from Mortal Kombat. Yes, Baraka is a character in other works of fiction. **** that.

Giving too much weight to what you "feel" might do it. ;)

Nice, thanks. Actually when I look at it now there's a new section that says "You" and I agree with my past self 89%, apparently. I think that link was the one I took before I figured out the expanded questions thing.
