Pab, don’t know about you, but I’m exhausted from all the Jubilee Festivities. The Royal Barge and Flotilla would have made Victoria proud. And the fireworks. Oh my!The weather was soo lovely… I got a bit of a sunburn.
According to Wikipedia Dr. Robert Hare, the author of the test, “argues that the test should only be considered valid if administered by a suitably qualified and experienced clinician under controlled and licensed conditions.” So neither Skinner (who died before the test was developed) or Her Maj qualify to administer it. Also, the inter-rater reliability of the test is questionable; in sentencing hearings, test administrators hired by the prosecution typically get significantly higher scores than those hired by the defense.
