I probably should have written 'one'.

That doesn't solve the issue. Who get's to make that decision?

A lot of mental tests benefit some heuristics over other heuristics. Maybe you find a heuristic that correlates with openness to experience. If your test favors people with high openness to experience you get less conservative people in your government.

Test design is highly political if the results of the test matter.
