45. It's curious that there's no result like "you're a dangerous lunatic on the verge of mass murder"

Literally all of the results are more or less neutral affirmations of what the test-taker already knows or believes about themselves.

And the owners of the instrument have stated that if the et results don’t quite work, you can manually tweak them to match your actually personality.

WTF?
