    Looks like the government have had to alter their fake test following exposure of their antics on the web:

    From the link -

    "The ‘test’ that the DWP ‘borrowed’, and is forcing unemployed people to take on pain of losing their benefits, was devised by a US psychologist alleged to have devised psychological-torture interrogation programmes for the US military and the CIA."

    There needs to be a full public inquiry into this.

    What a load of nonsense. I liked this bit:

    "The questions the DWP has ‘borrowed’ come from the ‘Values in Action Inventory of Strengths’ test devised by Christopher Peterson and Martin ‘Marty’ Seligman. In 2001, Marty Seligman allegedly convened a ‘counter-terrorism and psychology’ meeting at his home, attended by, among others, the alleged creator of the CIA torture program, Dr. James Mitchell, and CIA Director of Behavioral Sciences Research, Kirk M. Hubbard."

    Followed by a photo of someone being water boarded. What hysterical rubbish. So one of the two people who created the test is alleged to have happened to have been in the same room as a couple of people from the CIA in 2001 and therefore the test unemployed people are taking in this country is linked to torture?

    Dear oh dear.
