It’s not obvious to me how to do this and still gather information from the user without interfering with the scores for their chosen category. Having them guess after the fact how well the “slacker” horoscope would have worked for them seems clearly sub-optimal, especially since there’s an obvious pressure for them to say that it wouldn’t’ve.
I bet it would be useful to sort people by “what do you most want to improve about yourself?” It seems every LWer has at least one thing (and some, many).
People who choose “nothing” would end up getting horoscopes centering around Dunning-Kruger, confirmation bias, etc.
