        I can't really answer such questions without wondering about how the answers will be interpreted.

        For instance, take

        A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system.

        That's mostly a statement of facts, yet if I answer that I agree, it will presumably be interpreted as me being "authoritorian" or something, although I completely disagree with one-party states for other obvious reasons.

                    I know we’ve done something like it before a long time ago.

                    If we did it a few weeks ago I missed it.

                    But the answer to your question is yes.

                      We just did one of these here a month ago. The questions annoyed me for those same reasons.

                      Education is extremely important.

                        Hmm, you posted a joke in it, but didn’t actually post your results so may not have taken it. George took it though and had a different result...

                          Funny I remembered that thread for TG's take and the ensuing commentary, but had forgotten it started with this test.
