Are the particles theorized by supersymmetry string theory(superpartners) the dark matter WIMPs?

In super-string theory it states that there is a fourth symmetry of physics that is mathematically plausible. If the symmetry was upheld it would mean that each known particle would have a superpartner particle of 1/2 spin less, more mive and smaller than the known particle. The WIMPs are also hypothesized to be smaller but more mive than known particles, are the two describing the same particles or are they two completely different things?
