Thread: The Gullibility Test

  1. #1

    Default The Gullibility Test

    THE GULLIBILITY TEST:
    History and Culture

    Pretend that you're an editor at a major newspaper. A reporter has just handed you a story that contains the following statements. Unfortunately, this reporter has a reputation for embellishing stories with wild claims that are completely untrue. Using common sense and whatever you happen to know about the subjects, you've got to decide which statements are true and which are false before the paper goes out to print. Saying 'I don't know' isn't an option.

    Well, it's no surprise that Ms Gullible here only got 3 out of 10.

    I'm so easily-led, I've had to stop watching all those conspiracy theory programs, I end up getting myself in a right knot!
