How could politeness be the least needed? Obviously she was rude and it was like the only one that referred to manners so wouldn't she have DEFINITELY needed that? So you had to choose which option she most clearly didn't need.

Just looking for an explanation, there must be some big reason why heaps of people chose it.
well you need 50%+1 of the cohort to choose it for it too be right, i would say the majority would have chosen politeness, remember many people aren't going to stop and look for greater reasoning because of time constraints, the way i see it majority immediately recognizes lady as a biatch and puts down politeness as least need then bails onto other questions lol    

OH GOD. that "50%+1" reminds me of that government question. *shudder*...

I actually found psych really helped with the UMAT. There were like case studies related to psych in section 1 i.e. hypothalamus one, left brain right brain, placebo one. People who haven't done it would be fine but it kinda just gave you a bit of confidence I guess with the terms being used...

Oh well. One mark isn't the end of the world for me.

YUP! I was confident with that one. So it's good to get reassurance.

Me too.
The other answers seemed stupid and irrelevant (as was most of section two!). :)

I said not getting mad, or whatever it was, cos it seemed that they were having trust issues or something, so he was trying to reassure her? pfft whatever. UMAT is fat.
