ISideWith.com is a website that asks specific questions about current issues being discussed in this election cycle and compares your answers with the candidates. If you click the "more answers" button you will see the less black and white answers but there are still many that don't really state what I feel. My results are below. I find it funny that I match with Rubio the most. Once matched you can look and see how they match you based on your answers for each question.
Post your URL and we can do side by side comparisons or see the breakdown on their site. It is pretty well done. This is mine. www.isidewith.com/results/1973016579
If you click "Compare with Friends" you get this one that matches you by party.
