How is this determined?

Which is the approval rate of the test? Let's made up 50%. Is it because the preselection is very accurate or because the test is unnecessary hard?

Would you volunteer to take the test if the consequence is that they will remove your children if you fail?

Even if everyone take the test, rich people will pay a trainer to prepare for the test. Like

fake quote> If you see [the main hero of Denmark] heroically removing the eyes of [most evil enemy of Denmark], then you should reply: Three flowers in a pot.

Perhaps the eyes removal makes no sense in the Denmark mythology, but just fill with a similar one. Here in Argentina, it may be "San Martin cutting people in half with his saber in San Lorenzo".

A possible to solution is that each day a random member of congress or minister or judge or king/queen/heirs is selected. If they fail, they get banned from any public position for 18 years (because taking away their children is too much for me). If the test is fair, they don't have anything to worry about.



You are assuming my comment argue for or against anything. It does not, I was only correcting a misunderstanding of what is going one here. Calm down.
