Why is Santorum lower than Cruz? And what's O'Malley doing at the bottom?

Aside from Graham being at the top and O'Malley and Paul being at the bottom, that makes no sense.

Guys I looked it up and it measures how much of a war hawk each candidate is, higher numbers indicating more interventionist. 

But isn't Chris Christie the one who brought up ISIS in the middle of an economics debate?

I think they did this just based on adding up whatever hawkish statements they randomly came across rather than looking at specific positions.

They don't even attempt to justify why Christie is so low in the scale
PS the graph is from late December
