AOL Presidential Match will give you a short quiz and then tell you which candidate you agree with most. Here are my scores:
Kucinich: 100%
Sharpton: 97%
Kerry: 91%
Edwards: 83%
Bush: 4%!!!
I’m calling the score associated with Bush my “Jerk Number”. I am 4% a jerk. That’s pretty low. Can anybody beat me? What’s your Jerk Number? Be honest, no gaming the system.


nick
100% Kucinich, like you. 3% Bush.
Today I voted for Kucinich in the MA primary.
steve
Oh no! I lost so quickly.
nick
I suspect we differed in just one answer (probably only a strong vs. somewhat). For reasons I don\’t understand Sharpton didn\’t show up at all in my list.
steve
You probably said that your candidate must have held elected office. Sharpton has not.
Me
OK…I am probably going to be the black sheep in the family and the broader family too. I was Kucinich 100, Sharpton 86, Kerry 84. Edwards 74 and may the metaphorical god in heaven save me, gulp!!! Bush 8%.
I demand a recount.

I didn\’t do much better. Kucinich 100, sharpton 97, Kerry 96, Edwards 83, Bush 7. I think I scored badly because I left the issues I thought weren\’t simple enough at \”no opinion\”, that must\’ve been 8 or 9 of them. I don\’t really want to vote for any of these guys anyway, the 2 I\’m closest to ideologically, are both weasels, the next 2 are normal every day jerks, and the last one is hellspawn. I\’ll probably vote for my father.
walde
O-yeah, those numbers are completely bogus too. I mean more bogus than just how regular bous \”personality tests\” are. I was completely opposite of Kucinich on several issues, and I still got 100%. Leads me to believe it\’s a more advanced form of bogus than your average everyday bogus.
Nate
Gulp.. I feel like the biggest jerk-hole on the planet. I also think this test is dumb. I can\’t think of a single issue that I agree with Bushie on, therefore test must be wrong. Right?
Kucinich - 100%
Kerry - 99%
Bush - 16%
Sandy
I came out 100% Kucinich and 3% Bush, so I guess Nick and I have passed some sort of compatibility test!
I thought this test was too simple, though. There\’s another one, if you haven\’t had enough of this silly stuff, with more nuanced questions, or at least it seemed so when I took it months ago:

steve
Interesting. I wonder what Jenny will get. What if we\’re not compatible?!?!?!
steve
NOOO!O!O!O!O!O!O! Jenny matches Kerry 100% (showing that this isn\’t some pro-Kucinich plot) but her Jerk Number is:
22%!!!!!!!
Jenny is a bigger jerk than Nate! HOW CAN THIS BE?!?!?!?
Joe Bob
Kucinich: 91%
Sharpton: 88%
Kerry: 76%
W.: 2%
Am I disappointed? Yeah. 2 seems 2 too high.
walde
Here\’s a funny story. I was talking to Fischer the other night, and he was bashing Kerry, and then he seques into a story about how he took an online voting personality test that told him he should vote for Kucinich, and he couldn\’t believe it. I was thinking of trying to convince him he\’s actually a liberal, but decided that was too cruel, so I told him how we all took the test and that it was most likely broken. Honesty costs us one more vote.
