>A test does not impact the choice

Then whats the purpose of the test? Tests are scores used to determine something. You're talking about forcing people to take a test to do what, exactly? Or is it just to indoctrinate them with whatever the test-maker (because it will change every election) comes up with? A thing you must study for but with no reprecussions? Ya right.

Once you create a certification for it, it will become a private passport for access to goods or services, or it will be meaningless. In both cases its either a waste or evil.

With a mandatory test also come mandatory lessons. If you don't pass you have to keep taking the lessons. The lessons will lead to the population having better skills. Seriously I had hoped swimming lessons analogy would make you understand. What is the purpose of swimming lessons and test? Is that done to indoctrinate people that they should not drown? Is having passed a swimming test a private passport for access to goods and services? Get real...

I'm not sure why you keep going down this dark path which I didn't even touch on remotely. You just completely imagine it.
