I got almost the same (a little higher percentage on Richardson and Obama, but the intent is the same), but because I felt the same as you about the test didn't bother posting it.

7. Where do you stand on abortion?
A. Uphold Roe v. Wade and preserve the right to choose.
B. Overturn Roe v. Wade and allow the states to pass abortion bans.

Because the only reason every state hasn't banned abortion is the federal government. Riiiiiight.

10. Where do you stand on embryonic stem cell research? Answer as if alternatives (adult stem cells) do not pan out.
A. This research should have no support from the federal government beyond what Bush has provided.
B. The federal government should support this research.

Also answer as if nuclear war leads to a post apocalyptic America where Tina Turner rules the last known outpost of civilization and Mel Gibson is a tough guy.

11. Should Social Security be privatized?
A. Yes, at least partly.
B. No, keep the current system and strengthen it.
C. No, instead explore other types of reforms, such as increasing retirement age or reducing payments for those who do not need it.D. Thrown in the trash after sending a letter to every babyboomer that just says "F U" in 60 point arial

Yes. That's what I said.

But considering these are the 'issues' voters care about and thus the 'issues' candidates present themselves on, it's probably the best way to match a person to a candidate, to predict which candidate that person will want to vote for. Not a match that will tell you a lot about the candidate's performance if elected, or your potential evaluation of such, but a decent predictor of how people pick and vote.
