Political Test

I found a pretty good test site. Tell me what you guys think. It gives you a range of topics and has multiple different answers to each question as well as sliders for how important it is to you. Then compares it against the views of a range of parties. This is a US test btw.

That one's alright. I like it when it matches you with specific candidates. Maybe it only does that for presidential elections, but it seems like it wouldn't be too hard for them to add functionality for putting you in a certain Congressional district and knowing who is running there.

I like this one:

It seems to have more of an international perspective and plots you on a 3D grid rather than the 2D one those libertarian tests use. (It also gives you scores in 7 specific categories, like nationalist vs internationalist.)

the problem with a dot on a 3d graph that doesn't rotate is that you could be anywhere on a line passing through the point and your eyeball

Yeah I wasn't a big fan of it myself. I prefer the one I used originally.

You can get a sense of it if you squint and pay attention to the axis labels. At least the relevant sector is highlighted, and I found you could get a decent reckoning by conditioning on the bars listed above.

I came out a "Social Democrat Patriot". Funny how life leads to a leftward drift as you re-valuate your data regarding what is actually important to you. Then again, I had a few social studies instructors I used to talk to about civics and the like who were flabbergasted that I thought of myself as a Republican. But it's also not that surprising coming from a military family. I grew up seeing the tremendous advantages possible from well run socialism and the tremendous problems (and surprising advantages) of fascism.

Still pretty centrist on a global scale, and barely a commie at all.

"No Ideal Candidates"

Didn't think so.

Looks like it does now match you up with presidential candidates at least, even retroactively, as seen in OP's link.

Here's mine: http://www.isidewith.com/elections/2...ial/1630955289

I guess it's probably not just me, but these tests always misinterpret my answers as manifestations of support for general principle X when they're really manifestations of support for general principle Y. I guess I would prefer questions that were about the general principles rather than specific issues.
