Grading the exam should be done on gut instinct, too. None of this "reading" nonsense
Wha??? I have to read.

1. Dorm room.
2. Outdoor party.
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.
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!
I'll take that as "outdoor party."

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

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.
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.It's your fault for over-thinking it.

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.
