Fun, but, as ever (and as you discussed), fundamentally flawed: too many of the questions are predicated upon the test setter’s a priori assumptions about the meaning of the words and concepts that form the questions.

From the PolitiScales quiz, for instance: ‘A good citizen is a patriot’. What does that even mean? Well, of course, a good citizen is a patriot — it’s an inevitable side-effect of being a good citizen. So, the real issue is of what the question is actually asking — what does it understand by ‘patriotism’ … what are its unstated assumptions?

It’s like that question (that invariably crops up in psychometric tests) of whether one would rather be fair or just — you can’t be one without being the other, so it’s a trick question, designed to elicit not the given answer (which is the same, whichever option you plump for) but whether you are inclined to (fairly) empathise with people or dispassionately mete out Justice.

I’ve mused on this very topic before though, so I won’t belabour the point here.

Thanks for the information on the alternatives — a couple I wasn’t aware of and so fun to play with and try to second-guess the setters’ thinking before (inevitably) playing it safe and saying “Not sure” 😉
