Dorm room. In some circumstances I would enjoy the outdoor party more, but at least if I am in my own hypothetical dorm room (or that of someone whom I would be visiting) I'm guaranteed to enjoy myself; there are all kinds of sets of circumstances for outdoor parties in which I would not enjoy myself at all.

Ha, I can do gut instinct!

FWIW I think your tests are oversimplified and vulnerable to all sorts of error.

1. Dorm room.
2. Outdoor party.

Neither. I would rather take a walk through the woods. I don't like dorm rooms. They are too much like elevators. I don't like large parties...anywhere!

It's your fault for over-thinking it.

I'll take that as "outdoor party."

No trespassing in Ene's woods. It's a dangerous place:)

So if I walk on four legs and howl every now and then, it's ok, right?

"Forestals are beings who serve the forests of the Land, the remnants of the One Forest, the great sentient wood which once covered the Land. They are human in appearance, but according to the Elohim they were created by the One Forest itself using knowledge from another Elohim imprisoned within the Colossus. The Forestals actively protected the remaining forest from destruction by encroaching mortals."

Forestals are bad-ass creatures of powerful magics.

Despite being an extravert, I choose dorm room. I always associate parties with recklessness, which I prefer not to partake in. Now, an outdoor meeting or an outdoor gathering? Count me in.

It's your fault for over-thinking it.
But you see, if over-thinking questions creates error, then your test will only be accurate for those people who do not over-think things; and if the people who do not over-think things is a small minority, then your test will only be accurate a small minority of the time. By most people's standards a test which is only accurate a small minority of the time is a bad test. In order to create a test which is accurate a majority of the time you need to design it in such a way that it compensates for people's possible error-causing tendencies. Therefore, since you designed the test, and you didn't design it in this way, it is vulnerable to error and it is your fault. You can't rationally blame people's natures for reflecting badly on a test designed to identify their true natures.

Ohhh? I can tell you there are more possible errors than just the one you mentioned.

Yes, and the better your test is the less vulnerable it is to them by compensating for them. And it's the one you used to blame it on me, so you'll have to find a different one then.

Did you know that the number of response options make a difference? Therefore, it's impossible to create a one-size-fits-all test.
