I was given a test like this once in a somewhat similar context, and I asked the woman giving the test if they were going to reward the answers that most closely matched accurate descriptive statements about the community under discussion, or reward the answers that most closely matched conventional prescriptive statements about it. She won points with me by thinking about that for a moment, unsuccessfully suppressing a grin, and asking "Does the fact that I'm not answering your question answer your question?"
