A couple of reasons for this. The first is that we are not a good representation of the general public. While we all may give each other a lot of shit, we are often more well versed in the current political goings on than the average voter. People in that boat tend to, but not always, lean towards third-party/independent candidates. Another is that because of the continued perception that these alternative choices have no chance, people will refuse to vote for the major party candidate they most align with. I'm not saying everyone here will, but most people, even if they took that quiz, would vote Clinton or Trump even if both Johnson and Stein were ranked higher for them.
You may already know this and I am just wasting my time, but I figured it would be good to lay it out there. Also, while the site is good, it isn't 100% accurate. Hell, the percentages it gave me on my results page and what was on the image I posted here were different numbers.
