No, it’s a profession of ideological commitment. What you suggest would get a low to middling score.

Here’s a rubric that’s representative of others I’ve seen: https://www.nas.org/storage/app/media/New%20Documents/Rubric...

Note how saying you’ll “treat everyone the same” will get you penalized. How doing the things they want isn’t enough to demonstrate your commitment to their cause.

They want true believers, but will settle for people who are willing to let others control what they say and do.

As an Asian, this is really scary, and reminds me of Communist times where people are often asked to write "self reflections".
