Complete BS. This prediction algorithm said i was 78% liberal/Democrat. Have voted for most conservative candidate in every local, state, national election for 38 years.

Yep. I received a similar score (73% liberal) and consider myself in-between Libertarian and Conservative. The test is totally bogus.

The theory is not BS, read the paper. The researchers found they couldn't predict accurately using only conscious ratings like a survey. However the fMRI was stunningly accurate.
