Bernard Mickey Wrangle had developed a psychological test of his own. It was short, simple, and infallible. To administer the test, merely ask the subject to name his or her favorite Beatle. If you are at all familiar with the distinct separate public images of the four Beatles, then you'll recognize that the one chosen reveals as much about the subject's personality as most of us will ever hope to know.

Sandra had spent her days rendering pass/fail verdicts over troubled minds, applying tests most functional adults easily passed. Is the subject oriented to time and place? Does the subject understand the consequences of his actions? But if she could give the same test to humanity as a whole, Sandra thought, the outcome would be very much in doubt. Subject is confused and often self-destructive. Subject pursues short-term gratification at the expense of his own well-being.
Robert Charles Wilson
Obedient to the primary impulse of adequate expression, the style of a complex subject should be complex; of a technical subject, technical; of an abstract subject, abstract; of a familiar subject, familiar; of a pictorial subject, picturesque.
George Henry Lewes
If someone offers to furnish a sure test, ask what the test was which made the sure test sure.
Henry S. Haskins
...[O]ver the last fifteen years or so I've interviewed a number of people about these dimensional doorways and have culled from these interviews with people what I take to be the most reliable information. Now there is no one single standard of reliability when you get to a [...] matter like this. It's not like: 'well, uh, you run test A-B-C and if it tests out, then you know that the interviewee is telling you accurate information about this subject.' It's much more subtle than that and it takes in a great number of calculations, I guess you could say, but it's more than just that. To qualify an interviewee on this matter requires a lot of inference, requires a lot of questioning along other lines to sort of test out the person's sanity, so to speak, to begin with, and you get a lot of people that you just don't believe.
Jon Rappoport
As one learns the language of a subject, one is also learning what the subject is. ...what we call a subject consists mostly, if not entirely, of its language. If you eliminate all the words of a subject, you have eliminated the subject.
