I haven't taken the test.

It doesn't let one read all the questions beforehand to check for leading questions and leaning patterns of questions. It's easy to make the first page look neutral; then, introduce direction. Comparing the content, context*, and structure of all the questions to each other helps determine the usefulness of the test; but, I'm not interested enough in the subject matter to bother putting mock answers in to first see all of it. This test just didn't seem like fun to me.

But then, I've been a test developer (and questions writer) in a formal academic setting. That included proctoring the administration of my tests to sample target audiences and statistical analysis, via software, for validity. YMMV.

*Even the sequencing of questions can affect the answers obtained.
