Link to sample test.. https://yourmist.streamlit.app/
I managed 18/20 because I’m a skeptical and distrustful old bastard. And proud.
How are we supposed to take this? Are we supposed to look all of these up, or just guess?
You’re supposed to guess. It’s testing your ability to determine likely truths versus likely bullshit.
Just guess based on how the titles are worded.
18/20 myself as well.
20/20 here. Honestly a bit of a surprise.
18/20 as well. I wonder what those two are.
But taking a test to see how gullible I am felt really weird, like that’s exactly what gullible people do. What sceptical level-minded person trusts a freaking online quiz?
Haha, yea I thought the same thing,. Maybe that’s the test. See who’s gullible enough to do the test.
14/20, I guess I am overly skeptical
Thanks for the link. 19/20. Apparently I thought one of the real ones was fake.
