Perhaps two bugs make one right ... and two, three, four, etc.

What a truly novel idea!
Ah. So the old ways of using a secret combination of several visually distinct symbols from a set of 10 for authentication are, well, old, and the bright new future is using a secret combination of several visually (not so) distinct symbols from a set of 44?
Whoever came up with that unique and creative idea is certainly a genius and deserves a large bonus.

What a farce.
This "test" is completely contained in one HTML page. All the questions, all the answers, even the "scoring" logic. It scored my eyes, all right.
It goes through the "answers" in pairs. For every pair, it adds the indexes of the selected "answers", counting the odd-numbered questions bottom-to-top and the even-numbered questions top-to-bottom, so as to slightly obfuscate the relation between "answer" index and result. The 24 predefined "strengths" are then ranked by these results, and the five highest-ranked ones are shown to the hapless victim.
