This is all good information, and I will address it question-by-question!

Question 1: That's a great answer, and actually probably what I would pick a lot of the time. (Activities are enticing, and it's weird that I didn't think to include that.) I'll add it in the next update!

Question 10: My physics teacher parents would never forgive me if I didn't share this: tapping the lid (like making a small dent in it with a butter knife or something) operates on the principle you're describing, in that it distorts the lid and breaks the seal. Same thing with running the lid under hot water - the heat makes the metal expand more than the glass, so the seal is weakened. The more you know!

I can edit that answer to be a little more clear, re: tapping (so people don't think we're talking about ASMR tapping or something) and I can also include your method!

Question 11: This is a totally valid response, and I'll add it in the next update!

Question 44: This one's trickier. I also struggle to imagine letting an argument go that long, and I actually think that most people feel the same, so that question is meant to probe how one reacts when they're stuck in that frustrating situation. I've tried to avoid offering answers that are basically question skips, unless skipping the question is unusual/interesting/revealing in and of itself. Choosing to avoid the long argument seems like a thing that almost everyone would do, so I worry that I'd be missing out on more interesting data by offering that.

That said, your point is totally valid, and I don't like having questions that leave people out. There's actually a couple of questions like this that I feel need a larger overhaul, so along with those, I think I will either replace or reframe Question 44 so that it requires fewer internal caveats (or ideally, none at all!) on the part of the test-taker.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful response/suggestions! These are really helpful and I greatly appreciate you helping to improve the test :)
