who tests the testers, also the test (as in the most common assessment used, that's another wrinkle, what to use) is highly prone to inflating scores of takers on the autism spectrum who e.g. might justify what seems like an immoral answer through either having interpreted it literally or finding a scenario where it would be good to do that and also some autistic people might over-literally interpret the narcissism questions and just treat it as common-sense evaluation of actually having a positive self-concept (believe it or not I may be autistic but I'm not speaking from my experience but some of my friends')

So then why not just make it so a diagnosis of autism confirmed for that candidate counterbalances the test? Also, because of the manipulative nature of NMP, usually you don't give someone you suspect of having it the trst for them to fill out. A professional would observe them and fill it out.

Where to get the testers from? Draw them at random from the qualified ones in general practice during each election year. Can't be worse than our "every dumb Tom and Harry votes" system - at least these people are likely a bit smarter.
