True, I was expecting to be more libertarian and on the right side, but I got dead center and that's boring.

But, as Chaltab pointed out, the questions are too heavily based upon ambiguous, political rhetoric. That is a secondary reason I get upset is because this site declares the pretense of being able to tell people what they are (politically) and who they would want to vote for. Nowhere do I see an analysis of real principles of right and wrong:

"Do you care about children being healthy and happy while growing up? Why, that means you're a communist since they care more about children being happy and healthy! You'd most support Hillary Clinton in the general election!"

After all of that, yes, I do find tests like this to be fun. I just wish they would properly qualify their test to people as one that merely ranks us according to popular stereotypes (and how the results are not accurate beyond that).
