I started it with an open mind realizing that it isn't "perfect", but I had to stop at question 3 or 4. That is indeed a horrible written quiz. At least have a neutral answer available.
The point isn't to ask perfect questions though, the point is to analyse people. Do the quiz and see if it succeeds in doing that. Remember this aren't the same kind of questions you'd ask someone to personally figure them out. I'd be curious to see your result.
Oh and I'm post modern.
Edited, May 5th 2011 10:11am by Xsarus Even so, that is a poor way to analyze people. This goes back to the argument I was having with Bsphil about bad stats. You can't corner someone into answering a way they normally wouldn't and then claim that it is representative. The questions don't have to specific to an exact belief/solution, but at least generic enough to where your answer might fit under a certain selection.. I think the second quiz does a much better job.
Anyways, I'll do both quizzes just for you...
