I haven't taken the test yet, but I had a thought already. Supposing the test isn't just complete bullshit (a big supposition, I know), I would think that people who are more capable of taking criticism and more self-critical will get a worse score on this test, or at least an equal score, because it's self reported. All of the people I've known who are really bad at taking criticism and never seem to criticize themselves also have little no awareness how bad they are.
EDIT: Now taking the test. I saw this question. "When someone has spoken negatively of my work, I become less motivated and don't work as hard." I answered false, but honestly my answer stems from sensitivity to criticism, I think. I have an unfortunate compulsion to redeem myself, and so when someone is negative about my work, I sort of think "I'll show that fucker" and become more determined. So I don't think this question can really have a proper result.
EDIT 2: "I think that most people criticize others in order to hurt them, rather than to help." Definitely. That does not diminish the point of criticism itself, though. It just means a lot of people are stupid douche bags.
