Apparently flawed to default to the Liberal party!
The "test" the person in the article used is completely stupid.

Brock said the first time she completed the survey she selected the “somewhat agree” response to every question. The second time, she selected “somewhat disagree,” and the third time “strongly agree.”

The final questions in the survey pertain to leaders, asking respondents to rank candidates for prime minister based on trustworthiness and competence. Brock said she selected the “I don’t know” option for all the leader questions, every time.

“Every time, it told me I was politically centred and should vote Liberal,” Brock said.


Applying Brock’s method in a fourth attempt, selecting “strongly disagree” for each response, QMI Agency received the same result.
If you pick the same answer for every question, no matter what that answer is, it will place you in the center, where the Liberals are, because the questions ask your level of support for both left wing and right wing positions!


Not saying it isn't flawed, but the "logic" here is awful.
