I got this for Trump:
Economic score: -0.45
Social score: +2.52
Your score pegs you as economically centrist and socially center-authoritarian.

He's quite vague a lot of the time, so that may explain the huge  differences

It looks we have some disagreements on what Trump's PM score would be.
This is how I think Trump would answer the questions:

1. The right to individual autonomy is important, even if it threatens collective security.
Trump's answer: Disagree Critical
He called people who complain about free speech 'foolish' when proposing 'closing down the Internet'.

2. The government should penalize organizations that practice outsourcing.
Trump's answer: Agree Critical
He's a pretty standard protectionist.

3. Giving faith-based charities the same government resources as secular organizations is a good idea.
Trump's answer: Neutral Usually Disagree
He's never commented on this issue before and it's idiot to just assume what position he'd take.

4. We should increase foreign aid to countries struggling with poverty.
Trump's answer: Disagree Usually Disagree
He wants to cut foreign aid.

5. We should increase funding for education.
Trump's answer: Disagree Usually Agree - He wants to make America Great Again He's said he wants to cut the Dept of Education, and that the US spends to much on education

6. Heterosexual couples should receive higher marital recognition than same-sex couples.
Trump's answer: Agree Usually Disagree Neutral, he doesn't want gay marriage but has no problem with it either, it's the law of the land

7. Overall, free trade hurts more than it helps.
Trump's answer: Agree Critical

8. We should reduce the number of government programs substantially.

12. The government should work to reduce children's exposure to offensive radio and television content.
Trump's answer: Disagree
His whole compaign is based around ending political correctness

13. It is unfair that wealthier people pay higher tax rates.
Trump's answer: Usually disagree
His plan does include raising capital gains tax for the rich, but it also includes deeply cutting income taxes for the rich too. He also claimed that it's a good thing that the wealthy pay more in taxes than other classes. Usually disagree is the most appropriate answer here. I could also choose usually agree if you guys want me to. Neutral

14. The minimum wage should be raised.
