Scientology's 'personality test' taken apart like never before, and by a former member March 17, 2016, Tony Ortega, Underground Bunker

---

Chris Shelton has a nice treat for us today. He took a very detailed look at the history and use of Scientology's "Oxford Capacity Analysis," the fancy (and fraudulent) name for its famous personality test.

For most people, Scientology's personality test is the first encounter they have with the organization, as they're pulled in off the street with the prospect of learning more about themselves. But what is the test based on? And what does it measure?

Chris goes back to Scientology's early years to explain the development of the test and how it became such a prominent part of Scientology's come-on. And his debunking of its value is really quite entertaining.
