(Sadly this is often not very feasible, but I would definitely prefer it.)

I would replace the word "logical" with "intuitive", but I suppose to some extent they mean the same thing.
By the way, this wasn't a suggestion on how to change the test, but an indication of what I'd need it to say in order to put a (5) next to it. But now that I think of it, I would also put a 5 if you said "organized" rather than logical which I think is more in the spirit of what you were asking. It bugs the heck out of me when professors get up and try to explain things in a totally haphazzard fashion. I just think the word logical vastly oversimplifies what needs to be put into a good lecture in order to make it comprehensible.

Oh!, btw, I'm an Interaction Designer. Didn't take the other two tests. Where can I find them?
Regarding the visualization, I'm not sure if every question should be treated as a separate dimension. Gustavo, do you have any pre-concepted idea of how this should be visualized?
maybe with faces since they can hold more dimensions and given the fact that our wetware was made to making sense out of them?
