The average person who hesitantly wishes that the examiner will supportively pursue establishing the true state of his/her personality and the World at large. 2. Someone entirely lacking empathy, unable to value the examiner as someone seeking truth. 3. Those who effortlessly pass, every time. I think the reason three-letter-agencies maintain such expensive theater is to discover and protect #3.
