I side with dot com (take test, compare to candidates)

Gary Johnson mentioned this website when he was saying his views were 73% like Bernie Sanders.

So, I'm going to take this test.

I've done this before. I was 98% on track with Ted Cruz. It said I was 70% in agreement with Donal Trump. I'm only 4% in agreement with Bernie.

81% in agreement with Gary Johnson.

Who I know nothing about. Except if he agrees with me that much, he must be a bit of a dick.

That can become an algebraic question, if EC agrees with Gary Johnson 81% of the time and Gary Johnson agrees with Bernie Sanders 73% of the time, then how often does EC agree with Bernie Sanders!  I think I already figured it out.

I did have agreement with Trump from that website but the thing is is that those who are skeptical or outright against him would cite he was a liberal a few years ago.  I may be skeptical of Trump, I am not outright against him.

A lot of will depend on the weighting they assign to the questions. In my mind there are some deal breakers like aborition and gun control. I wonder how many percentage points a question is given on an answer of least important vs. most important.
