The design concept of a personality test to eliminate or minimize false responses must seemingly pose question that, on the one hand, must be accurately answered, and on the other hand, pose questions that allow for false responses to question that do not contribute to the results sought. Therefore, the design concept of this personality test must employ a strategy of deception and psychological understanding, to elicit valid answers and eliminate or minimize incorrect responses. This fact appears obvious. I do not question or criticize this approach; quite the contrary. Accurate and uniform information is critical, if we hope to validate the noted test procedures and results, for the purpose of accessing and predicting how distinct personality types will perform in an academic setting.
