VALIDATION & LIMITATIONS

Clear about what is proven—and what is not.

The software and scoring logic are technically tested. Scientific, cognitive and classroom validation are separate gates and are not implied by a successful build.

Current status

CANDIDATE ASSESSMENT

Automated tests cover scoring, question counts, result generation and classroom privacy boundaries. That shows implementation consistency, not psychometric validity.

Not yet established

  • Representative population norms
  • Test–retest reliability
  • Construct equivalence across languages and age bands
  • Cognitive comprehension with intended Junior and Youth users
  • Predictive validity for voting or political behaviour

Do not overread the result

Scores are indicators generated by the current model. A number such as 61/100 is not a scientific probability that somebody “is” an ideology. Historical reference figures illustrate traditions; they do not imply endorsement or equivalence.

School release gate

Real-school use with minors is not yet authorized. It requires qualified legal review, accessibility testing and age-appropriate content validation.
