Your ideal theoretical candidate
Who is "Your ideal theoretical candidate"? This candidate adamantly
endorses all of your political views. The problem is that they may not exist,
unless you write-in your own name on your ballot.
Will my favorite candidate be at 100% if we agree on every selector
issue? Not necessarily, for example, we based some of our scores on grades
from special interest groups. Your preferred candidate may have received a high
but not the highest grade from a special interest group. "Your ideal theoretical
candidate" matches the highest score given to any candidate. In other words,
your candidate may be more moderate than the special interest groups and
opposing candidates on certain issues.
What sort of score should my top candidate have? If your top candidate
scores in the 90’s or above, you’ll be delighted; the 80’s, you’ll be very
pleased; the 70’s, you’ll be satisfied; the 60’s, you’ll find many points of
agreement but some differences too with this candidate's positions. If your top
score is in the 50’s, your top candidate is the "lesser of evils". If your top
candidate did not get at least 50%, then all we can say is that you have a
unique combination of political views.
If your top candidate has a mediocre
score, retake the selector, but this time try varying the priority settings
below each issue area--set some "high" and some "low". Optionally, you might try
taking the selector again, but this time, do not answer those questions on
issues for which you have little passion or interest.

Take the test, then at the end be sure and uncheck all the boxes before you submit so you can get all the possible choices.
