MSE News: BBC launches huge scientific test into money management

Quite apart from the fact that the thing appears to be broken - it's telling me my session has timed out, then it asks me to confirm my password, and then when I enter my password it tells me my session has timed out and asks me to enter my password............

......it would, IMHO, be of greater value if it contained rather more of the practical money-oriented questions, and rather less of the emotionally loaded, "when did you stop beating your wife?" psychobabble questions.

I find it actually rather disappointing that MSE should be associated with this; some of the questions are frankly disgraceful, and there is no way that this should be put forward as 'science', because it isn't.

As well as its bias and subjectivity, the test requires the participant to tell the truth about themselves. This is a tall order!
