That's a good idea but I think in practice this particular test would give the opposite results.
Some glaring flaws:
1. implicitly ambiguous questions
2. assumptions on the part of the author, just as he criticizes about more mainstream tests
3. It conflates seeing both sides of a paradigm with being unable to make up one's mind.
4. It treats being unable to make up one's mind as a characteristic of NPC's, which is flat-out wrong - NPC's have no trouble making up their minds because their minds are made up for them by external influences.
libertarian = yin, authoritarian = yang
idealism = yin, pragmatism = yang
balanced yin/yang = NPC according to this
I tried the test, interpreting the questions as they were explicitly worded, which in some cases was obviously not how they were meant by the author, as revealed by the points awarded, (but I couldn't give answers respectful to the authors meaning because my opinions were not represented in the options,) and the test categorized me as an NPC.
I tried the test again, this time trying to answer as I imagine a die-hard leftist NPC would answer, and scored {9, 0} (authoritarian).
In conclusion, I think having an NPC take this test would backfire and just reaffirm their belief that they are smart and muh Trump-loving conspiracy-theorist, by comparisson, is a stupid NPC.
