A cleverly framed question can stump even geniuses. How do you answer with a digital yes or no a question like: “Have you stopped cheating in exams?” This query is like: “Have you stopped beating your wife?” Yet, tests based on multiple choice questions (MCQs) are similar: the answers hardly reveal the truth about a person. Sadly, ever more of our education system depends on MCQs for assessing students. Little wonder that many score 95+ in literature or sociology, unimaginable — especially for old-timers — in such analysis- and essay-based subjects.
