Let's Revisit this Test
-
I can't stand this test. Most of the questions are subject to interpretation.
I end up analyzing each one. IE, "punishment is more important than rehabilitation of criminals"
What crimes are we talking? Serial killer/violent pedofile?
Or bank robber, drunk....
Come on, man. This thread was started by Woody, who hates him generalizations.
Stupid test.

Well it is impossible to make a quick test online that dives into anything that deep. I think it is just expecting you to make the conservative assumption over the liberal one, or vice versa, and seeing how many questions you do that on to help get your final score. It is easy to look at most of these questions and begin to over analyze them, but if you try not to do that, the test will be more accurate based on the assumptions you make. If you make the conservative assumption 9 times out of 10, even if you aren't 100% sure of the context of the question, that helps to give the exam algorithm a score for you.

Next to Nelson Mandela.
I agree that it's not exactly a clinical study in to your inner psyche, but did you really expect it to be? Personally, the ones I found most absurd were the final ones about sex/religion, no real grey area there for me. The others would require more context to answer properly.

actually I didn't have a problem with the punishment or rehabilitation question. As I see it in a perfectly ideological sense, and assuming there's even a good chance that it could be accomplished, I would always prefer to make a bad guy a good guy. Unfortunately I don't think that can be done, still if it could wouldn't that be the ideal?

I think that's the point of the questions, not 'in practical terms, what is the most realistic solution' but 'in a perfect world, what would you prefer?'

Okay, I got ya on that. But on several questions, to me, it depends on the taker's point of reference
as to how to answer it. Just depends on how you read the question. Sometimes the answer would be one way,
and sometimes it would be the other. "None of the above" would have been an interesting addition.
I'm too analytical. Made me a great programmer/analyst though. And I learned many years ago, to refrain
from analyzing stuff in movies. My Wife convinced me to stop. LOL

Six pages of this crap is too much to fill out just to lump me into a vague category.

A "neutral" option would have been nice, I agree

This.
Some questions needed at least a frame of reference, or additional info, I thought.
