96 percent Green, 93 percent Democrats, 77 percent socialist. 26th libertarian and 2 percent Republican (no policy areas, meaning they automatically assign 2 percent to everyone).
I vote for Democrats.

(65,616 posts)I don't even know which questions would fall under the Constitution part. I think the test was too short on questions.
HappyMe
(20,277 posts)I did ask for other options for most of the questions. The pat 'yes' or 'no' wasn't working for me.
A lot of the issues I left at 'somewhat'. I slid it over to 'more' or 'most' on economic and environmental issues...maybe a couple others.

apparently there is now a cookie on my computer that remembers my IP address and my score.
Plus, you need to get up to 60% or I am flunking you out of my party.

(65,616 posts)Jay was a Repuke until 1966, then switched parties. Wonder what happen in 1966 to make him change his mind. Maybe they thought if one was in each party, they could control Congress better.

Not to change the subject, but the other day when we were talking about HRC...you and I do agree on one thing, we will both be voting for her. You, because I think you like her and me because we won't survive a Jeb Bush presidency.

interesting how the quiz says I am just as Democrat as you are, more Green, and also far less socialist.
I had about 3 "choose another answer" answers, which they said would reduce the accuracy. Also I only took the long version on some issues.

Yes, it creates a bias against religions that do not believe in God."
The whole quiz seemed to really miss important stuff as well as just saying stupid things. Not a single race question in the social issues?
