The test is not really BS. I think it takes your answers based on the severity of your answer and the more severe your answer the more severe the candidate that it assigns. I believe that in their hearts MOST voters feel very strongly about a couple of things that Ron Paul feels very strongly about and that scores him.

Most of us attempt to find the candidate who we agree with on the most issues. The more issues that you agree on the less severe the agreements will be. If you take your five most important issues and attempt to find the candidate who agrees the most with you on those five issues your candidate is generally going to be different that if you dilute your issues severity so as to include more issues. That is how I read it! Most of us believe less government. Reagan did, Paul does. If you believe less government somewhere in this test Paul is coming toward the top.

The weakness is this doesn't test the off-the-chart radical anti-American attitude Ron Paul has about 9/11 ("It's American's fault"). If it weren't for his obsessiveness about an isolated defense strategy and his caustic views about 9/11, I (and I think a lot of others) would be for him much more.

When he's given a free reign to speak, generally he makes sense about limiting government and freeing the economy but then almost without fail and seemingly out of nowhere and really in a pretty surprising way, he'll zing off into never-never land about defense or 9/11. It makes it seem like he's got a screw loose somewhere.
