    i think it works as an object lesson in the meaninglessness of the categories it seeks to promote. "I'm socially liberal and fiscally conservative" makes sense to an apolitical who hasn't considered it much, but finding out that 99% of people who actually take the test hew very closely to Y=X line kind of underscores how broken that kind of model is. Obviously that requires proper framing.
