I quickly learned how to answer behavioral diagnostic tests as my mom displayed hardcore covert narcissist traits. I knew if I ever came out to my family when under their control, they definitely would have me taken for conversion therapy, electroshock, lobotomy (this happened to my grandmother) etc, like other family members were subjected to when they weren't straight enough.
Every time I took the MMPI since 40 years ago, I wanted to come out, but I knew I was not safe, so I knew how to answer every question as a strong leader, but I knew I was dying inside.
@dianea The irony is that a lot of what I would describe as very poorly designed psychometric tests, especially the ones used for employment and screening, are quite the opposite. I really expected to see more adaptive testing these days, where the test is fluid and digs into ambiguous response data. I guess if you asked an LLM to test somebody, that's exactly what it would do.
But most of these screening tests are just on a different level. They measure compliance, and the candidate's ability to predict the role and the required mindset, mould themselves to it, and importantly, make a mental call to commit to putting it down on paper. In cynical pop-psychology sales terms, it's their first "yes" on the ongoing yes-ladder.
To me, it's a depressing insult to science. To a recruiter and an HR department, it's a great addition to their toolbox.

So... in North America is illegal to create your own currency. It is not illegal to issue gift cards or non-voting stocks. It is apparently not illegal to create a cryptocurrency.
I don't know what the difference between those things is. Gift cards don't have independent fluctuation, I guess, but otherwise?
I suspect the legal argument would revolve around the 'stable' bit; your stablecoin, like your gift cards, is always worth $X at your store.
(Gift cards traditionally trade below par because they're not as good as actual money, since you can't redeem them for cash. If you can turn corporate stablecoins back into cash they could trade at par. There's a whole lot of AML/KYC issues but well those are getting waved aside in a certain country right now.)
