Your premise is appealing, but how would it fare knowing that conservatives are better at understanding liberals than liberals are at understanding conservatives (the former are able to empathise with liberals’ values, all the while holding their own as superior, whereas liberals do not consider conservative sensibilities to be ethical values at all)[1]? Don’t you think that an ability to empathise, which already exists at least in the case of conservatives, doesn’t seem to lead to more nuanced views? I’m not questioning the obvious benefits of education or injection of diverse points of view into one’s environment, only your premise. Wouldn’t a simpler premise, making one’s bias apparent by stating a binary preference (conservative or liberal, but maybe less grossly-defined) somewhere in one’s piece of work, achieve the positive outcome of allowing readers to better analyse content, without betting on the potentially positive side-effects of trying to game a test?
