Karin, some people who retake the test may try to make their scores 'better', but I think the vast majority who retake it, take it with the idea of being more precise with their answers. In my case, I retook it because I had misunderstood two statements and found out that I had misunderstood after asking two people what the statements really meant. And what's the use of reporting scores that aren't really applicable to oneself? I don't think most people want to misrepresent who they are, or in this case, their political leanings.

I'd like to only see test results from the first try. From reading the posts on another site I've come to the conclusion many have retaken it in order to reshape their score.

I took it once without a thought to the outcome. You should have a column for number of times taken. I don't view it as much of an eye opener knowing so many have manipulated their scores. lol

Karin, this really has nothing to do with politics, except that the person I do this with is a flaming conservative, but one of my favorite people on IHub. We send each other messages without any words, just the letters. If we can't figure out what the message is, then the one who made up the message puts in blanks to represent the missing letters. See if you can figure out this one which he sent me this morning......
I was clueless, but the moment he added the blanks, I knew immediately what he said......
