Intentional skewing occurs when a user masquerades as a member of a group of which he is not a part, and intentionally answers questions in a way that would slander that group. For example, a member of one political party might log in and answer political opinion questions as would a member of the opposing party, and then intentionally answer intelligence questions poorly in the hope of causing some statistics to indicate members of the opposing party are unintelligent.
