Scratchtown Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 This quiz is a good indicator of who you might side with in 2016. It took me about 20-25 mins to take. Covers a lot of issues. I clicked the "Show more questions" for each topic to get a better feel of who I might vote for in 2016. http://www.isidewith.com/political-quiz I got 90% "Constitution Party" and the candidate that I agreed with on most topics was Marco Rubio (86%) 1 Link to comment
TGHusker Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 My leading category was republican wt Constitutional close 2nd. No surprise there. Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Ummmmm.....wrong. They have me down as the Green party and my candidate is Bernie Sanders. My second choice is Clinton and Bush third. I do find it funny that I agreed with the Republicans the least. Link to comment
Scratchtown Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 Maybe you just don't realize that you agree with Sanders mostly and the Green party. Link to comment

It'sNotAFakeID Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Democrats and Bernie Sanders for me. Link to comment
zoogs Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Hm. It's weird that it's not apparent that "other stances" actually provides a list of other answer choices -- some of which appear basically identical to either 'yes' or 'no.' For example: Q -- Should a business, based on religious beliefs, be able to deny service to a customer? Why in the world are "No" and "No, all customers deserve to be served and treated equally" different choices? Do they provide different results?... Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Maybe you just don't realize that you agree with Sanders mostly and the Green party. No, looking at the questions and possible answers and then looking at how I "agreed" with the Green Party and Sanders....ummmm...there is a lot more to these issues than what can be presented in these simple questions. Just an example. There is a question about..."Do you support raising taxes on the rich to reduce the cost of education to lower income people". In general, I support lower taxes on everyone as much as possible and smaller government. But, I could support this as I'm fine with reasonably more taxes on the upper class to pay for education and job training so lower income people can raise their household incomes with better jobs. I don't support just any socialist program anyone throws out there. So, I said yes. BUT, I will guarantee you Ol' Bernie supports what ever tax increases we can push through on those evil rich people to pay for one hell of a lot more than what I would support. Link to comment
knapplc Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I got that I'm 96% Democrat, and I am almost entirely aligned with Bernie Sanders. My political leaning was a little more to the left of center than when I've taken similar quizzes. Like zoogs, I'm wondering why some of those questions were designed that way. Seemed like a lot of the answers didn't exactly fit my beliefs, but I was too lazy to write a custom answer. Link to comment
TGHusker Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I took the test 2x again. The first time by just choosing yes or no buttons and keeping the 'how important is this issue' slide in the middle. My results then came back wt Constitution party #1 and Repub 2nd. Wt Rubio as my choice. I then took it a 2nd time and drilled down to choose the other options: Knapp will laugh at this one or at least say that his "Project Moderation" is working on me. I decided to answer all of the questions again with the most 'moderate' position I could live with. In other words in the best possible world, my head would choose the more conservative choice but since this world isn't ideal and in the real world we never fully get the "perfect" we have to consider a more realistic landing place. So by this measurement - my results were (I'm going to need a physiological evaluation now - trying to figure out how I go from Constitutional Party to these leading 2 parties -- Doctor Knapp what does this mean? ): Parties you side with... 74% Green Party on immigration, domestic policy, education, and economic issues.compare answers 70% Socialist on immigration, education, domestic policy, and economic issues.compare answers 70% Constitution Party on foreign policy, environmental, domestic policy, and social issues.compare answers 65% Libertarians on immigration, healthcare, and environmental issues.compare answers 64% Republicans on environmental, social, and foreign policy issues.compare answers 61% Democrats on immigration issues.compare answers 61% Presidential choices: This doesn't seem to match wt the party as I end up with Scott Walker tied wt Rubio as 1st choice.. Walker is who I've said in previous posts that I was leaning towards him. then Hillary Candidates you side with... 57% Scott Walker Republicanon environmental and domestic policy issues.compare answers 57% Marco Rubio Republicanon environmental issues.compare answers 52% Hillary Clinton Democraton foreign policy issues.compare answers 46% Carly Fiorina Republicanon foreign policy issues.compare answers 43% Rand Paul Republicanno major issues.compare answers 43% Rick Santorum Republicanon environmental and domestic policy issues.compare answers 41% Chris Christie Republicanon healthcare issues.compare answers 41% Mike Huckabee Republicanon healthcare and environmental issues.compare answers 33% Ted Cruz Republicanon environmental issues.compare answers 33% Jeb Bush Republicanno major issues.compare answers 25% Bernie Sanders Democratno major issues.compare answers 13% Ben Carson Republicanno major issues.compare answers Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I got 93% Republican and Constitution party and 92% Marco Rubio. I usually check out more libertarian on these deals but not this time. Expectedly, I align least with Sanders, Clinton, and the Democrat party. Idealogically I was a tick right of dead nuts centrist and that was enough of a tick for them to label it as right wing. Fairly accurate I guess although probably should've been above the line leaning libertarian. A little concerned that my 2nd and 3rd's were Rick Santorum and Ted Cruz. I would never vote for either. I don't think this one was structured quite right or it was weighted funny or something. Link to comment
teachercd Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 In the end, most people are going to agree with things they don't think they would've thought they were going to agree with. Link to comment
