They always bug be because I never quite agree with any of the answers, so I end up having to choose the lesser of two evils, which is way too much like the ballot box. I want my quizzes to avoid reality, not mimic it.\u00a0This year there\u2019s a better option. It\u2019s called:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.isidewith.com\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.isidewith.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t like the simple answers to each question, click \u201cChoose Another Stance\u201d option. When you click on that it opens up another window with anywhere from three to seven or eight possible answers. If none of those suit, you can write in your own response. I could almost always find an answer describing my position.<\/p>\n<p>2 keys to getting an accurate result:<\/p>\n<p>Rate how important each and every question is for you \u2013 try to differentiate between what is most important to you and what you don\u2019t really care that much about.<\/p>\n<p>At the bottom of several sections there is a \u201cShow more questions\u201d option. I recommend clicking that and expanding the question count by a few more. It will give you a larger sample.<\/p>\n<p>Final step \u2013 post your results in the comments section so we can see where you line up. One of the interesting things is you can view state by state results. There are some other ways to view results that are interesting. I think it\u2019s actually a pretty decent tool for folks who are not that into politics to learn a little bit about issues and think about where they stand before they vote.<\/p>\n<p>My results say that I should vote for Jill Stein \u2013 Green Party 83% (In the major horse race I lined up more with Obama than Romney, but not by a ton).<\/p>\n<p>They also told me that my response agreed with 50% of Kansans, and 52% of Americans.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every election season there is some sort of quiz flying around to help you decide which candidate you should vote for.
