    Did you answer ALL the questions? There are more than twice as many to answer if you click on "answer more questions" at the end of each section. Did you carefully gauge and mark the importance for each question? Did you look at all the other choices in addition to "Yes" or "No"?
    Edit to add the following----------------------
    I took it twice and only varied the importance of the questions from all medium to my actual position, and it made an amazing difference.
    Johnson dropped from 88% to 70% (1st choice both ways)
    Trump dropped from 80%(2nd) to 40%(3rd).
    Castle jumped up from 45%(4th) to 66% (2nd)
    McMullin dropped from 55%(3rd) to 36%(4th)
    Stein dropped from 32% to 17%
    Hitlery dropped from 13% to 4%
    End edit ------------------------------

    It is better than most "tests" for political views, although quite a few questions were worded poorly enough that I had to type my own answer. My guess is that those answers are not included in the comparison to candidates. There is no way to gauge how the test graded the candidates either, but I'd guess it is based solely on their current tale ignoring their actions in the past. That makes the test a poor tool for choosing a candidate since it must ignore whether the candidate's answers are truthful based on their actions.
    For me, Johnson was easily top choice even though I disagree with him on immigration and association issues. Hitlery was dead last with Stein slightly above her but far behind all other candidates. Guess that makes me a sexist in their irrational minds.

      Me dino answered all the questions and bumped up a Trump.
      Even though me dino said no to eminent domain.
      Me dino no surprised.
      Thinking about it, me dino bets me harsh responses toward illegal immigration played a big factor.
      Me dino cool with the outcome.
      Me dino was gonna vote Trump anyhoo.

        Yea, I bet that one's stance on immigration and freedom of association played a large role in the outcome of the survey.

          Me dino agree.
          I recall to clicking yes to enhanced interrogation as a last resort. Trumps has said as much.
          If your captive Ahab Mohammad knows where the nuclear device is hidden somewhere in ALL of New York City (and I've been there) with it set to blow at high noon in three hours and the little weasel won't talk?
          Hey, but as O the Great and Powerful would say, "That's not who we are."
          Really?

              There is a difference between killing a terrorist and making him talk to save New York City.
              Had to look up The 100. Never heard of it before now.

                  Just checked it out in my Netflix, which suggests I'll love it or like it a lot with four and a half stars.
                  Me dino likes how Netflix keeps software tabs on what I may like or even hate.

                    Just moved season one of The 100 to the top of my queue.
                    I generally like apocalypse flicks and TV shows, whether its zombies, talking apes, Mad Max or spacemen returned to a SHTF earth.
                    This season I quit watching Fear The Walking Dead. Don't care what happens to the characters.
                    Looking forward to the next season of The Walking Dead.

                      I've been trying to figure out without having to call, when the new series come out. Dying to watch the continuation of Dark Matter and of course, the 100.

                        I never started to watch Dark Matter after Killjoys for not wanting to watch that much TV in one night.
                        May wind up renting Dark Matter.
                        The first TV show I ever rented was The Sopranos in VHS form from dead and gone Blockbuster.
                        Something about Mafia crime boss Tony having an anxiety attack over ducks leaving his swimming pool and needing a shrink hooked me.
                        I did not watch the last two seasons. I simply got burned out on that show. Believe I saw the end of the stupid finale on Youtube.

                          Wish I would have spaced it out but started it on third shift when nothings goin on and finished on a slow week end at Hospice...I put in the most hrs at Hospice on the weekends cause nobody else wants to...the pay is better too! Rarely does anything break, everyone behaves and the Non-value creators on the third floor are home, (they are the one's that break stuff) so it's just me, patient families, many of which are great and a lot of pretty nurses.

                          I always say: I get away from the old women and get paid to do it...

                            Last time I saw my dad alive he was in a hospice Summer before last in Nashville, Tennessee. .
                            Now he rests in peace beside my mom where they share a large grave marker way down in Dothan where Alabama corners Florida and Georgia.
                            Dad was moved from Dothan so a sister-in-law could look out for him up in Tennessee until he died one day short of his 98th birthday June before last..

                              I work at the first Hospice Hospital in America, it's non profit and a beautiful place situated On long Island Sound in a safe Harbor.

                              My Dad and his oldest Sister Lived the longest, my Aunt was walking around Boston up until she was 95, she was the last to go. Everyone knew My Dad in CT and everyone in Boston Knew My Aunt...I might have turned out quite different if it wasn't for their example. Hoping I got their Genes for longevity.

                                My dad thought he was going to die much younger as did his parents. Appears a bad heart got them both. I say "appears" because Grandpa unexpectedly died in his sleep while Grandma later died from a very painful heart attack.
                                My dad needed a triple bypass back in the 90s
                                So I guess modern technology saved him from his heart.
                                What got my lifelong nonsmoker dad was lung cancer. Meanwhile, my dad became so senile he had to be shown old photos to remind him who his aged own visiting sons were.
                                Over the past year I started to carry a plastic container shaped like a little red plastic heart on my key chain.
                                It contains two tablets of chewable aspirin as I await my turn. So far I do not have a detectable bad heart.
                                I'm just ready for the day it may suddenly turn into one.

                                  Hope for your sake, it doesn't.
                                  What really got my dad was false guilt and disrepair about my younger sister, (who has passed on also) that no one could of changed. Both my Aunt and my Dad, died in their sleep.

                                  Most lung cancers have nothing to do with smoking...

      I did the test with the gauge and without...it made a 5 point difference...didn't volunteer for more questions though.
      Funny, it gave me a 1 for hiltery and 1 for stein...shoulda been a 0.
      Yes, I got that impression about truthful planks and positions on issues of each candidate...they've all vacillated so much I think it would make the program crash.

    That was fun! I was surprised after answering and rating all of the questions, I came out 99% Trump. Big surprise, only 3% Hillary, no surprise. Wouldn't be cool to give that same test to some inner city people, an see if they really are Hillary supporters?

        I did the print media interview thing for several years, but thank goodness, am too old now. I used to stir things up trying to sneak non-liberal views into a liberal rag for fun. Now, I limit it to writing letters to the editor, which stir tings up.That was a profession between my IT and accounting professions. Waters would be really good getting people to take the poll, I would like seeing that. I have a pal, 92, retired eye doctor, who does ask people pointed questions, and he then tells them they are NOT Democrats like the think they are.

            They know if they drag their feet on a submission, I do not give up. I have called the out of state corp. head twice. Sometimes I enlist like minded old farts, who can write a pointed letter, using the limited word count; and sometime, it is a matter of knowing the right people in town. We are a conservative town, with tow liberal rags!

              My whole state is liberal if you go by voting records but I haven't run into many.?.?.? and I meet 500 to a 1000 people a week...I would put my count at: 98% consciously human and 2% idiots. I think idiots get 1000 points to our 1 when voting.

    The additional information shown below the candidate ratings are also very interesting.
    A. It places your views on a political scale of right-left, liberty vs authoritarian.
    B. Rates your views on political themes: privacy vs security, assimilation vs multicultural, Regulation vs Deregulation, Collectivism vs Individualism, Centralization vs Decentralization, Small Government vs Big Government, Traditional vs Progressive
    C. Shows Map of the US with color coded voter "agreement" with your answers
    Very interesting!
    Also shows how voters rank the candidates for the voters' most important qualifications:
    Integrity- Johnson highest rated
    Honesty- Johnson highest rated
    Intelligence- Johnson highest rated
    Leadership- Johnson highest rated
    Vision- Johnson highest rated
    Committment- Johnson highest rated
    Consistency- Johnson highest rated
    Communication - Stein highest rated

    Lots of other qualifications of lower importance to voters also listed.

    Results from my choices are here:

      Pretty much how I would of answered the extra questions and just about dead on with the standard ones...I see your a bit right of center which is where the country was intended to be.

        I`m curious about your statement "...a bit right of center which is where the country was intended to be." Do you have a quick source on that, or do I have to go find my copy of TFP ? I would have thought more to the right, considering the lack of social programs in the years of the Founding.

          Not about social programs. The idea was we were between too much gov and no gov and a bit on the no gov side...ie, slightly right of center. With the advent of liberal stupidity and progressive hubris we might place ourselves further right.
          I think the blaze explained it best but back a few years now the concept was all over the place.
          Note: Europe, like most things, is backwards in their use of the terminology. ("Like Most things")?- they drive on the left...laughing.

    I took the test with the extended questions and the results are in!!
    Donald Trump 95%
    Gary Johnson 49%
    Parkinson's Clinton 6%
    Jill Stein 4%

    Full disclosure: I am a Constitutional Conservative with a Degree in Constitutional Law
    and I have taught U.S. History and Computer Science.

    I also disabled tracking [as always] to keep my privacy.

    I hope the results on November 8th are relatively the same.

    Somewhat comforting to learn that since I started smoking at a young age and finally managed to quit four years ago.
    I'm kinda like an alcoholic on the wagon. I can't smoke anything without getting hooked. No celebratory someone had a baby cigars for me!
    My nonsmoking parents often entertained a couple who seemed to smoke nonstop. Both died of emphysema.

    Hillary 4% -- We agree the TPP has too many hidden provisions.

    Johnson 60%
    Castle 48%
    McMullen 42%
    Trump 39%
    Stein 9%

    'Libertarian 78%' I seem to have dropped vertically on "The World's shortest Political Quiz" towards the Center-Right.

    I attribute that to my growing disdain for the suicidal insanity of 'Pure Libertarians'. Earlier this year I became aware that I was always a 'Paleo-Libertarian' -- which I suspect is also true for MOST Gulchers!

    My top two were Trump and McMullin at around 90% each. I've never even heard of McMullin! Trump isn't my favorite candidate, but he's the only one that has any chance of upsetting wicked Hillary. So, he's got my vote - especially as a gun owner and avid shooter. Politics is mostly about choosing the lesser evil anyway, at least it is for me.

    I got 88% Johnson, 79% Stein. I think Johnson promotes this site b/c it's reasonably accurate and if you ask people what they think most people are for the gov't doing less.

    Hillary talks there's no option. WIthout further adew, it's the Hillary. the dictaoiress to various radio talk show and talk program hosts. No choices. Using the word option.Not voting,she talks, increases Donald Trump will win. Then, don't vote, if one wants Donald Trump to win, indicating the country will win to a good number of people, and Hillary to lose, indicating the country will win, to a good number of people.

      The word up there is "dictatoress", maybe very close by pronunciation and numbers of additional ways to " traitoress". also describing her to a good number of people.

    My results, and I expect for any Objectivist, showed Trump way ahead with Clinton relatively insignificant. However, the questions did not touch on Trump's worst areas, let alone his character and areas in question; and I don't sense it properly evaluates Johnson.
