my favorite test to complain about is the political compass because it has questions like this:
A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system.
but they aren't scoring you on whether you agree that this is a "significant advantage" abstractly, they score you more authoritarian if you agree with what is on its face a generally true statement unless you approach it from a second-step where you say, it doesn't, it simply processes those arguments elsewhere and generally away from the public
there's also stuff like this:
Abstract art that doesn't represent anything shouldn't be considered art at all.
which shouldn't score on a political Nolan Chart axis unless it's implying government intervention in some manner
they also ask you, almost all on the same page of the six:
Making peace with the establishment is an important aspect of maturity.
All authority should be questioned.
It's natural for children to keep some secrets from their parents.
The most important thing for children to learn is to accept discipline.
all of which you can answer in two non-contradictory ways while agreeing or disagreeing across the board, but the test scores as contradictory
it also says gibberish that has never been turned into english:
Multinational companies are unethically exploiting the plant genetic resources of developing countries.
in all of these, and others, you really have to deduce what they're actually asking because all the agree/disagrees are linear scores along one of two axis and nothing else, when they tell you to not do this and just give your quickest response to be most accurate so you don't "game the score" it's really to have you accept the unspoken premises about what they're treating as sets of near binary question for two separate axis with none of the questions inherently connected other than they chose them to be the ones asked, if they added another 40 questions it might swing the results in other ways
Really by this point in the development of the SOCIAL STUDIES there should just be one personality and political test:
"Did you vote for, donate time and money to, and/or post on NeoGAF.com in favor of Hillary Clinton's 2016 Presidential Campaign?"
Those who say yes are noted as reasonable and well adjusted human beings, those who say no are immediately identified to the authorities as making violent threats to others.
