It actually surprised me, both in terms of how much I agreed with people who I really hate and some of the things it got right. Here's my list:
- Bernie Sanders 78%
- Rand Paul 74%
- Jeb Bush 64%
- Marco Rubio 64%
- Ted Cruz 58%
- Hillary Clinton 57%
- Ben Carson 57%
- Scott Walker 54%
- Donald Trump 54%
- Carly Fiorina 46%
However, I think that if you don't fit into either of the major parties this site doesn't really ask the right questions to classify you. So many of the questions push you into R or D and so I end up deciding which answer is the least objectionable to me. Take this question:
Should a business, based on religious beliefs, be able to deny service to a customer?
A business is comprised of people, and people have freedom of association. They can choose not to associate with people if they choose to, and if someone they have chosen not to associate comes onto their property they have the right to peacefully remove that person (so long as that person themselves remains peaceful.) Religion doesn't enter into it at all.
So do I answer yes or no? If I say yes I'm siding with republicans who want to discriminate against gay people, and I find that morally reprehensible. If I say no I'm siding with democrats who want to use lethal government force to compel people to associate with people they don't wish to be associated with, and I find that morally reprehensible.
I had the same trouble when I first started the quiz. Did you answer just "yes" or "no" to each question? If so, try taking it again and choosing "additional stances" at each question. Many of them offer an in between option that may more accurately describe your stance. You are so correct, there are rarely, if ever, only two stances on an issue. Instead, there is a continuum. I wish more people could recognize this.

I did that, but you just get pushed into the yes and no mostly anyway from what I could tell. I also expanded to answer all the questions.
