The flaw is that they're only matching your "issues" to the candidate's "issues", and not discussing the intangible qualities of leadership. Just because Kucinich and I agree on a lot of things doesn't mean I think he has the skills to actually make any of it happen.

A test based on actual leadership, governmental, and organizational skills would be a much more difficult one to create, both to get your opinions and to try and figure out how any of these candidates will do being actual president.

I don't tend to agree with Kucinich on issues in real life. I think the prioritization was broken somehow.
