No, I don't miss it. I took the survey and found almost all the questions written from the POV of a socialist. Whether that was intentional, I can't know for sure. But with faulty premises to many of the business questions, I suspect it was psyco-linguistic sloppiness.

I agree with most of your post. Except - "If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of transnational corporations. A false dichotomy." Well, yeah. They do that on purpose. The other day, Tim was fussing at the "hard" questions on a values hierarchy instrument I had posted where you have to choose between "national security" and "love" or between "cleanliness" and "salvation." They use false dichotomies to draw out what you care most strongly about. The questions are supposed to be hard. I think a false dichotomy is a weakness in the test not a strength. Its not just a matter of being hard. Some of the questions on this test might be hard, but hard is ok. This is more than that. Tim
