SAT has they answer to happiness and fulfillment

Recently, I wrote on the difficulties inherent in the new SAT Essay section, but The Corner's Kathryn Lopez (yes, I've been partaking in The Corner's shady wares a lot today) just highlighted a new atrocity in the section. The sample essay question she picks out begins with this lovely bit of instruction:

A sense of happiness and fulfillment, not personal gain, is the best motivation and reward for one's achievements. Expecting a reward of wealth or recognition for achieving a goal can lead to disappointment and frustration. If we want to be happy in what we do in life, we should not seek achievement for the sake of winning wealth and fame. The personal satisfaction of a job well done is its own reward.

Really? I'm glad that issue is finally solved. Thanks to the those wonderful folks over at The College Board, I can start on my path to gauranteed happiness and fulfillment immedietly. This is a major development, people. Come on! Recognize!

Honestly, though, is this sort of pat moralizing what the SAT needs to be doing? Isn't there a better way to give an essay test than to require students to assimilate a disputed worldview before they write? Now there's an idea for an essay question.
