The Finnish military uses personality tests on everyone to look for the leader types amongst their conscripts. Everyone with half a brain could game them either to shorten their stay or to get picked as a leader candidate. It’s amazing how these kinds of useless testing rituals stick.
I talked to other people who gamed the test and they usually got they wanted, which happened to be shortened stay for all of them. I myself didn’t pick just the wrong answers, but tried to randomly pick some right answers as well. Considering that none of the low-mid rank officers seemed to be the sharpest tools in the box, maybe you’re right :)
Perhaps the psychologist who designed the test was a pacifist.

Maybe that’s the test.
