This way we could have some Inner-Struggle happening to our Force-User characters, they'd have to journey, meditate in exile, pass through emotional challenges, spend myriad hours training, or even seek ancient holocrons in order to be empowered, but also risking being depowered.

Please play fair; and if you're not pleased with the results, do not panic nor distress, simply write a genuine application showing how and why your character would/should be so powerful, relate him/her and his/hers origin to more mystical or prophetic tales of the force among other possible ways.] XD The test is terrible and not accurate in the slightest. Sure it's fun but even looking at the first couple questions you can tell it's not very accurate and based on faulty criteria. You can't tell how force sensitive someone is through questions, that's just not how it works. [It was the best among them, certain questions are inefficient but the others are quite nice for someone like me willing to know how I could turn out to be if the force existed.

The problem is that nobody yet seemed to justify their length of immersiveness in the force itself, instead they'd just write three words "Force Ability: High". It's not only uninteresting but also untidy and relevant (perhaps even more than the tests), since our characters can, thus, just be Gary and Mary Sues capable of humiliating Sith Warlords with ease, right before gests of mockery.

Come up with something else then, Chaz, I'd be pleased. But for now, if we are going to play this way... so be it.] Force sensitivity isn't a personality test.

We should probably use a number system and justification then, but a test based on ourselves in real life makes no sense.

Go ahead and use it, but don't force it on the rest of us.
