The trouble with that quiz is that the wording of the questions means most left-wing Europeans will get Dennis Kucinich. Because to us the idea of federally funded healthcare is pretty obvious and this is his defining policy. In the US it's far too radical, though. It would make him auto-lose against almost any Republican candidate.
Given that this quiz is entitled "Who Should You Vote For?" the Democrat Electability question could be reworded as "I'm happy for the Republicans to win the election because I was too idealistic to vote tactically". And then that question should be weighted by comparing your other answers to the leading Republican candidates and scaling up accordingly. It would end up being the only question that matters!
