I'm wary of tests.

Pretty sure I have family members who would ace the test because they intellectually know the right answers and can express themselves with authority because they are educated.

But in practice they are not good parents at all because they have shit personalities.

And then there would people who are not very literate or well educated who would stink at a test but who are great parents.

iow, what are we testing and how are we testing?

Honestly I don't know what we could test. Too many variables. I do think that some kids lose the genetic lottery and are born into shit situations. If we could prevent that, that would be great.

Test:
Tester: "Do you want kids?"
Testes: "Yes"
Tester: "Wong answer"
