Ugh why must the darkness have the most interesting points??? I wrote 2,000 on my experience with personality theories and how it’s impact my mental model of agency but didn’t write back to the email I desperately needed to

"testwiseness" -- now I have to know

strategies that give you advantages toward getting things right, that aren't what the test is trying to measure! Classic example is understanding the logic of item construction well enough that you can detect clues to what are false answers

I can relate to this. @wiredferret.bsky.social and I regularly share the depths of these ant nests which we encounter during time-bound writing tasks.

Also, your TDIOM sounds a lot like Venom.
