Surely you jest...............................

Headline reads:

Yale's Emotional Intelligence Test Will Determine If You Are A Good Leader

Sixth paragraph reads:

Scoring the test-takers is another complicated task, as it's hard to say what the right answer is on every question.

Questionable assumption reads:

The idea is that leadership requires an ability to read people, accurately understand and manage emotions, communicate effectively, and adapt quickly to other cultures.

Post from whence these nuggets came is here, along with a handful of hard-to-score questions.  One wonders how Churchill, Gandhi, Patton, Steve Jobs, et. al. would have graded out (my guess is they would have left the room long before completing the test).
