5th District Quiz FAQ
Q: Does the 5th District Quiz tell me who to vote for?
A: No. The main purpose of the quiz is to introduce you to the candidates who are running and their positions on the issues.
Q: How was the quiz developed?
A: The quiz is based on the Select a Candidate™ concept and surveys developed by Minnesota Public Radio.
Q: How did you come up with these questions?
A: The questions were developed by WPSU to mirror core issues of concern to 5th District voters. Answers were chosen to correspond with a broad range of positions on each issue.
Q: How did you assign positions to each candidate?
A: After development of the quiz, each candidate received, and filled out the quiz.
Q: How does the scoring work?
A: Each candidate will be assigned 1 point for each question where your answer matches their answer. If you indicate that an issue is very important to you, the candidate is assigned 3 points. If you indicate that the issue is “not at all” important to you, the candidate is assigned 0 points. In this way, the “match” is weighted to reflect those issues on which you decide elections.
