conormccauley1999 / dichotomytests Goto Github PK

Several people upon loading the published version of this reported being redirected to different hosts. The GitHub link would also redirect elsewhere, attempt to track the location and send notifications, and prompts to install/download unknown software.

I would provide examples, but I don't wish to expose myself to attackers anymore than I already may have.

Since this inst happening to everyone, It's possible there is some sort of MiM attack going on that is hijacking random amounts of loaded sessions. I'm not sure how this is being executed, only that something malicious is going on.

I suggest you unpublish the site, check with your hosting provider, and scan your code for malicious packages.

If i had to guess, I would say it is something with this line that is replacing all your links and executing malicious code https://github.com/conormccauley1999/DichotomyTests/blob/master/index.html#L34

It might be helpful if users, when hovering over the little button image of their dichotomy on the results page, see either a sentence or two of information about that dichotomy. It might also prove helpful to add a link to something like Wikipedia for that specific dichotomy as well. That way, users will have easier access to information about what their results show them as relating to.

Do you currently accept translation on test? If so, how should a pull my repos

Hi,

do you have any source for the reasoning behind the test and the scores? Were the questions taken from anywhere, do they have any psychological or scientific basis behind them or did you come up with everything by yourself without any references (I would doubt that).

Nice work, btw. The test and results were quite interesting.

Have you considered adding an open-source license, perhaps something copyleft due to the nature of the project?

I am a pagan and a polytheist, so it's kind of frustrating to answer "Strongly Disagree" on the question "Does an omnipotent, omnipresent etc. god exist", but still get the "Monotheist" badge thing at the end?

Like, yes, a few of the questions that're supposed to be more general to religion are worded a bit weirdly if you try to answer them as a non-christian religious person, but "monotheism" being the only religion related icon at the bottom is, um, much worse.

I'd reccomend two things; That the question I mention above, whether or not, essentially the abrahamic god exists, should have a clause which completely rules out monotheism if the person hits disagree, and then if they're answering in a religious/spiritual manner from there, the later question of "does a god need to exist for us to be content" can be reworded a little to have "a god, or group of gods", and then someone who disagrees with the Abrahamic omni-whatever idea of god but answers yes to this question would instead get "Polytheist" (The celtic trinity knot would work well for a simple symbol there) and someone who answers no to both doesn't get a badge because that's sort of redundant since they'd still have a super-high spiritualist score, but with no deity belief on top of that.

Is it possible to integrate some of these elements into the test?
also this issue can be used to find more references

Ironically, the largest issue with this test is that they are all false dichotomies.

You also have issues of double barrelled. Where you're answer is not defined enough and are actually asking multiple avenues at once.

Why not do it the way professionals would?

Create weighted matrix survey and use something like a spider web diagram?

Certain things are also useful, such as:
Other
Not Applicable
Prefer not to answer
Etc

Having "Other" is a good way to determine if you are missing something, and can provide you with more information.

Allowing multiple answers for a question that the user can score with a weight system is also beneficial.

eg.

Rate the following in terms of importance morally:

or

Rate the following in terms of importance ethically:

or

Rate the following in terms of importance emotionally:

or

Rate the following in terms of importance pragmatically:

Notice that I also broke up the false dichotomy that was also an issue. Things could have importance from different lenses.

That said... All of those things I listed are not necessary. But some of them would help provide a clearer picture.

Clicking any link off of the homepage redirects to a different website. Many of them on mobile are ones promoting fake VPN or virus software for my phone

See this hand crafted example: http://www.dichotomytests.com/results.html?id=0&m=1244&e=1424&i=1244&h=2144&n=1442&r=1555&s=14451

I can write a pull request to fix the javascript code, but you know your code better so it'll probably be (way) faster for you.
