    I am well aware of the clean and non-sexual answers to these questions; that's the whole objective of the test. I was just alerting people of the potential legal implication for those working in the U.S. due to its strict sexual harassment law. People get into trouble even for nonintended, innocent statements that can be interpreted as sexual harassment, let alone that these test questions were designed with choice of words (e.g. intercourse, blow, head) and sentence structure to lead people down the wrong path. Even without any sexual interpretation, some of these questions can be viewed as demeaning to women: comparing them with cows, saying they love (to blow on) money, etc. As a man, I am not personnally affected, and I'm not trying to accuse or defend anyone. I am just saying that reasoning alone, psychological or not, will not get one out of trouble with some of these test questions in the U.S.
    In USA, they do what they say, don't they?.

    1st Version:
    Anyone who teaches me one word - even half a word - is still my teacher.
    2nd Version:
    Even he who teaches me the smallest bit can still be called my teacher

    Please correct my grammar as you see fit. Much appreciated!

    Thất bại lớn nhất của đời người là tự đại
    Đáng thương nhất của đời người là tự ti.
    Tự đại + Tự ti = thất bại đáng thương nhất
