I think test only has validity if you follow the instructions. It's a self-test, so the assumption is that you are looking for results with the most accurate results possible, then you try to stick to the constraints they lay out. The fact that you "cheated" and got silly results does necessarily invalidate the test.

I agree, though, that the questions were easy to guess, which probably skews everyone's comprehension scores high. Although, they should probably have stats from their website on what the average scores are from that test from that website.
