However if you test "ability to be a homeopath" then the differences in
cultural backgrounds, differences in training, various learning styles,
are ALL irrelevant - as they should be:-)

So it begs the question - what *are* you trying to prove with the test?
Are you testing to see whether the person is a good homeopath?
If not why not?
It matters little who sets the questions *compared* to the relevance of
WHAT the questions are designed to discover?
So far your descriptions have all been of memory tests, (who can
memorize what) and not tests of how good a homeopath you are seeing.
No, with respect yo skipped a step.
I can test anything, but unless there is a good REASON for the test -
why do it?
So it all depends WHAT the test will prove and I for one have not seen a
any discussion at all on WHAT should be tested. THAT is the starting place.
I would be interested in a test to show whether someone is a good homeopath.
Can they repertorize correctly?
I have no interest in whether they memorized anatomy terms:-)

So - Before one devises a test of ANY kind
.. you need a consensus on WHAT it is going to test - what the test will
prove about the person being tested.

We did not see or participate in that critical step.
So the rest that follows can have no credibility.
IMO.

Namaste,
