No surprise for me. Bernie Sanders.

Hillary
The test is really BS, because there are no stock answers to these questions.
Funny ha ha...every time I take that other political test, my "dot" always lands right over Gandhi's.

Re: It's probably just as useless...
Hillary. Blechhh! Shows a blatant flaw in the survey. Very little around the character of the candidate and all about
positions in broadly general areas, most of which fell far outside the Exec branch, even given a strong Presidency.
Yes, I suppose Hillary's position papers are often closer than Bernies positions, across the board. My issue is that I don't
trust her to have good judgement nor dependable positions going forward.

I don't understand their methodology, or maybe just how to read their answer key. It chose Clinton for me, but according to the key my answers agreed more with O'Malley and Sanders.
Re: It's probably just as useless...
I had a hard time answering the questions because most of them did not capture my positions. I'm pretty sure it picked Sanders for me because Climate Change was the only one I found easy to select.
Re: It's probably just as useless...
My result was actually Sanders > O'Malley > Clinton. What I found interesting was the corollary between such a quiz/matchmaker, and the actual presidential election. The frustration of the pre-selected "approved" answers not matching the answers I wanted to give. I probably just reflexively selected answers on the memorized talking points of my favored candidate.
