I was thinking about it, and I think that it's important to know how everyone on the board stands economically and socially.  I think it's interesting to know how a person stands and how much he/she has developed politically, so I obviously voted "yes".

If people don't like the PC (ie, me.  I think a lot of the questions are ridiculous), people can use their score on <http://www.ontheissues.org/quizeng/XPolitics/start.asp?Clear=Y> which is better, I think.  It will be an alternative, such as APA formatting as opposed to MLA.  My scores are:
Personal Score    61%
Economic Score    20%

We should create our own test based on Atlasian issues...

Anyway, I have never taken that other test before:

Personal Score
45%

Economic Score
76%

I actually posted all of my answers to the test at one point, not just my scores, but no, it shouldn't be a requirement. Certainly all candidates should be encouraged, however, to post at least their scores, and preferably, their answers as well.

The problem with this is that as well-intended as it is (which it is very), it's just not something that's really required to vote in any realistic scenario. Besides, some object to the outcome of the test and do not consider it useful.

It's just overcomplication, although in a utopian sense, I wish everyone did post their scores.
