The ETS has a certain arrogance about them that I have never liked. They claim to be able to test for anything. If there is something you would like to determine about someone (or a group), they can come up with a test to find out for sure whether they know it or not. I don't think this can be done for many things!

The ETS has sucked for 20+ years. They put themselves up as experts
and gatekeepers, but they lack that certain something...
