The one thing that bothers me about the test is that some items listed are actual facts, not perspectives. Example:
A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system.
Yeah, a one-party state does avoid conflict and debate found in a democratic or multiparty system. Because it's a one-party system. That doesn't mean I agree that the idea of a one-party state is a good thing, that I agree with it or anything like that. So how do I answer that question?

(I've strongly disagreed every time I've taken the test for the last several years, for the record).
