***IMPORTANT NOTE!!*** - This test is currently being seriously revised due to several serious flaws. Please come back soon for a better version of this test. ***IMPORTANT NOTE!!***

1. E - active barrier (doorman) (singular) slides laterally on deactivation by third entity (the password) allowing one unit/batch (girl) [one may pass]. Eg. vending machine, elevator, spring-loaded faucet.
2. C - force (willful desire to change = frustration) beyond threshold (willful resistance to change = patience) removes barrier completely. Eg: bribes, fines.
3. J - active actuator (chairperson) controls motion of material (board members) by controlling flow direction, barrier (procedural decision) and destination (debate) [one must pass if open]. Eg: quality control inspector.
4. I - making a decision is separate from decision itself.
5. P - to go in is to go out. Compare with "three strikes" law.
6. N - respect must freely move in both directions, perhaps against desire.
7. B - arguments can accumulate into barrier.
8. H - changing the pitch of fact affects its strength.
9. O - the union now occupies the space of the management's will.
10. D - pain has height, we control our resistance.
11. M - a lowered (supine=death) wall at the end of a phase.
12. A - lateral buckling due to overpowering force. Can be permanent.
13. F - barriers (plural) slide laterally. Not necessarily cumulative.
14. G - a self-motivated door acting on signals.
15. K - restrictions without bias.
16. L - disgressionary barrier to some, free passage to others.
