I can see Gilchrest's ratings, but how did you ascertain that you agree with him 95% of the time?

Washington Post has a vote by vote breakdown. I found that I would've been 52.5% Liberal/ 47.5% Conservative using the National Journal's key votes.

So basically to find mine, I'd need to decide whether I'd have voted for or against on each key vote to get my score, then type those scores into search to see who comes up?

So what I do? Start at 0 and count up or start at 100 and count down or do I only count if I vote in the affirmative?

I used their system of weighing the averages of the votes. I really should have found an easier to use website.
