You like quizzes and cross-word puzzles, isn't it
- and you would gladly assume, that solving these, does increase
your ability to think
even though you have no idea at all, how thinking works.
'
'
The multiple-choice questions:
'
1. A sociopath is...
a. a garden path leading up to a home for old age people.
(yes = 10 points)
b. the annual meeting of a group of social workers.
(yes = 20 points)
c.(I know I have no need of the term, but if asked, I would probably
say, it is) someone in a mental institution, not including its
medical staff - (indeed = 30 points)
'
'
2. Lunch time is...
a. between noon and one hour after noon.
(yes = 10 points)
b. when your boss harasses you to get work done.
(yes = 20 points)
c. for people who work - (indeed = 30 points)
'
'
3. What is true...
a. can not be known.
(yes = 10 points)
b. must not be made known.
(yes = 20 points)
c. is harmful to world peace and to productivity (and to my job), if
made known - (indeed = 30 points)
'
'
4. The higher the social position is, of a person reported about...
a. the more likely he or she will tell the truth.
(yes = 10 points)
b. the more he or she should be believed.
(yes = 20 points)
c. the more one should report, whatever he or she says, as being true
- (indeed = 30 points)
'
'
5. Impartiality is...
a. not having any own viewpoint.
(yes = 10 points)
b. not wanting to have my own viewpoint.
(yes = 20 points)
c. preventing my own viewpoint from being seen or understood, when
people see my reporting or writing - (indeed = 30 points)
'
'
6. My own IQ is...
a. high.
(yes = 10 points)
b. higher than that of others; in particular higher, than that of the
persons I talk to or write about.
(yes = 20 points)
c. very high, but that fact is kept well hidden by me from others:
I have to keep myself stupid, in order to be able to do my work
properly - (indeed = 30 points)
'
'
'
Scoring now:
60 points = dismal failure as a journalist, but might be a great
success as a novelist (writing fiction).
120 points = mediocre as a journalist, but will not be fired.
180 points = definitely a journalist or potentially a very successful
journalist who will be hired by any newspaper or by any
news agency anywhere in the world.
