    Are you bloody well daft?

    “I’m very literal but people don’t tell me this generally so I’m inclined to disagree”. And then they show a picture of 5 dots. And they selected the second from the left dot.

    OP knows that they are very literal but people don’t tell them that so they are being their literal self and answering the question literally not completely disagree but mostly disagree as the dots represent

    Where and what is OP adding or going further?!

    The problem here is “people say”

    Does this mean 1 person? 2 people? 99% of people? It’s unspecified what the qualifier is to give a useful answer.

    It says people so that’s a plural and needs to be more than one. But where is the threshold here? Given that there are 5 responses the answer cannot be a simple pass fail, it’s a range.

    I would call that a frequency as you put it(I would not choose that term but I’ll use yours) and that IS mentioning it by offering it as a range of answers, not offering yes/no or true/false

    OP says generally people DONT say this to them and the post shows not the dot that represents strongest disagreement but the one next to it, which suggests that it does some times get said, but that’s NOT what they expect to hear from people. Even though OP knows they are very literal, they just don’t hear that feedback from other people.

    It’s commentary about the awkwardness of these tests and the kinds of question they ask. They confuse people who overthink things because the questions are either poorly thought out, lack precision, or both. And here you are being a dick about it ascribing shit to OP that they aren’t doing(IMHO)

    Thanks for being exactly the type of person that makes being not NT so fucking difficult. /s

    You are a jerk
