Mind Games Quiz

Test your understanding of psychological science

7/10
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

8/10

One of the two I got wrong (the Prisoner's Dilemma one) I really should've gotten right, if only I'd thought about it a little longer; the other one (the Pete Townshend one) was just a bad guess.
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

Always interesting to hear from that Robert Trivers. I think I'll look up that book.

6/10 but I got 6/6 of the ones I understood.... :roll:
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

That question really stuck out like a sore thumb in this quiz...

It really belonged in one of those BBC weekly celebrity trivia quizzes....















which is probably why Strop got it right....
