I was once compelled to take a computer personality test, in
which yes/no answers were forced (no don't know allowed) to
questions including "There is life after death,"  "I am
important," and much more personal questions too.  The computer
print-out was taken seriously by a court, because the computer
reported that its conslusions were "valid" (even though I had
answered questions I simply could not answer by tossing a coin).

One of the computer's conslusions was that I had no sense of
humor, which I still find amusing.
