I’m retrying the cambist booking values test from last year, but with consistent phrasing. I don’t need any one question to be comparable—it’s fine if each person thinks of a different sports car. I need the cycle to be comparable—so for each individual person to think of the same sportscar between questions. Likewise with how much they like their job. I think self consistent values are one of the load bearing pieces of rationality—it shows up in things like scope insensitivity, or taboo tradeoffs, or expected value calculations.
Typos fixed.
Intent in spoilers
