Don't think there's really anything that needs to be said here, other than the fact that I took the test more in-depth a while ago, actually bothering to answer the side-questions and mark how important the issues were to me, and there was a bit of a larger gap between the Green Party and the Democrats for me. Though the Greens still prevailed :D

Yeah, these tests aren't exactly the most accurate, especially since they omit many ideologies nonstandard in the US (Marxism being one of them). I would likely get some sort of Marxist party if it were possible.

It's not assessing your compatibility with ideologies, but with party platforms.

True...but it will always associate you with one party, even if the most fitting option would be 'none of the above'. I find this to be inaccurate.

Well, your signature indicates that you are in the direct center of the right-libertarians and Greens, with economic 0.0.

They're both quite liberal socially, with the exception of the Green party's quite insane view on gun control. They differ primarily on economic views; both sides are on the opposite extremes.

Socially/legally I'm well in line with the libertarians. Economically I'm more progressive. Much more.

The thing tells me I am 86% with ALL the democrats in my NY State races, which seems pretty fishy to me.

However, I do also apparently side with one Green Congressional candidate.

86%, of course.

Look, this test is missing half the answers for the socialist party, and when it doesn't have an answer, it considers it a point of disagreement no matter what your position. That's insanely misleading. Check for yourself.

93% Libertarians, then GOP at something like 60% and Democrats at around 55%. A clear win for the LP in my results.

This, kinda. Also, there are many questions in which it considers "Yes....", "Yes", and "Yes....Somethingelse" as similar, but there are cases in which it doesn't - which really is annoying.
Do you support the legalization of Marijuana? learn more

Socialist: Yes, and immediately free all citizens jailed for drug offenses S
You: Yes. Legalize, tax, and regulate marijuana instead of criminalizing it
There counts as disagreement instead of agreement.

I was a little surprised at the Green Party alignment but then again they're just fringe Democrats. I wouldn't vote for them to win a bet. That the Constitution Party scored higher with me than the Republicans is very amusing.

Nothing too surprising for me. Although, I was surprised to see that I favored the Constitution party more than the Republican Party.
