Just like you said, everybody has an opinion about things that can't be scientifically proven or math.
Most people understand this (if they have an open mind). Every test you took in high school and college was demonstrating your ability to understand the opinions of the teacher and the textbook writer and repeat them back.

No It's not green grocer!
No one can be disciplined from telematics either, it is proven unreliable and therefore useless. If your center is using it for discipline you need to get that stopped immediately.
Exactly if you let them push you around, they will do it all the time untill you do something about it.

That's what I would do ... I don't care that others have opinions different from mine. I just feel superior after the experience.
It's just a test where one can only be correct if they repeat what they have been told is the answer. You don't have to believe it.
That's what I did all the way through high school and college in those Literature, Psychology, History, etc. courses.

They can take you off road any time they want to, but unless it is a layoff in seniority order you are still entitled to your 8 hr gurantee plus any OT that was earned by whoever ran your route.
Art 22 Section 2 of the Western Region Supplement ( or its equivalent if you arent in the Western Region) gives a specific list of actions that the company is allowed to terminate you for without the necessity of progressive discipline. These actions include theft, drinking on duty, provable dishonesty, or a serious accident that is caused by your reckless behavior.
They do not include failure to score 100% on an assement.
The management person who told you that you had to score 100% is either (a) ignorant of the contract or (b) lying to you.

It boils down to a question of semantics.
"Normal" people can use recreational drugs such as alcohol or marijuana in moderation with no ill effects. "Normal" people can use prescription medications such as pain killers or sedatives as instructed under the care of a doctor with no ill effects.
There are also people, such as myself, who cannot use such substances in moderation. Our brain chemistry is different. Introduction of such substances into our bodies produces the phenomenon of craving, as well as all sorts of self-centered and destructive behaviors. It is not a character flaw and it has nothing to do with willpower. It is a disease and there is no cure for it. In order for such people to have a normal and healthy life, they must abstain completely from use of such substances through a daily recovery program.
The "loser mentality" you speak of might accurately apply to people who know they have a problem and use it as an excuse for all sorts of inappropriate behavior rather than taking personal responsibility for their actions. A person who knows that they are an alcoholic or an addict has a responsibility to themselves and others to do something about their problem, and the first thing they have to do is to admit that they have the disease and that they will never be able to drink or use like normal people do.

I agree with you that requiring you to score 100% on the test is a steaming load of BS.
You might consider telling them "since I will never agree with the answers, please write down which answers you would like me to spoon-feed you so that you can look good on paper to the idiot from corporate who is telling you to make me take this test. I will then score 100%, and you will be happy, and your idiot superior will be happy, and then we can focus on things that actually matter like providing service to our customers."
This will allow you to take the silly test and give them the make-believe answers they want to see while still keeping your integity intact.

Maybe an analogy will help.
I believe men should wear a beard and if I could, I would.
However, as a condition of being employed with UPS, I cannot have a beard.
Therefore I shave my facial hair off on work days before I go to work.
After 30 plus years of doing something that I don't agree with, I still have my opinion on facial hair in place.
Companies have the right to "control" one's behavior but they have no right to control what you think.
Therefore, answer the questions the way that the company defines them to be correct but continue to think the way you see it.
No company, no government, no church, no person has the ability to change what you think.
