It has 30 questions and highlights any contradictions in your beliefs. It does not check whether the base is right or wrong, but only if the parts form a coherent whole.

I achieved a score of 0. Post your score!

    Ok, ok...I bit, as stated below...they more than likely already have My number...just awaiting to hear: "their coming to take me away"..ha ha...gulp!

    One can not live by non-qualifying statements alone. Context is needed and within context there is usually no tension at all.
    Even without context, one familiar with current day misguided culture could tell exactly where these non-qualifying statements were headed.

    The test identifies a pair of beliefs as being in tension, where (a) there is a direct contradiction between them, or (b) some sophisticated reasoning is required to allow both beliefs to be held consistently. If two of your beliefs are in tension, we advise that either giving one of them up, or developing some rationally coherent way of reconciling them (assuming you have not already done so).

    I got a 33. I always was a person more concerned with rational and observed extenuating circumstances prefaced by...but, but, but...laughing

    Government??!...I hope you're not here to help!

    I'll take the test later today and post...so long as you do not record my score "to be used against me". (as Arlo Guthrie sang in Alice's Resturant.)

    No, it isn't a contradiction, it's equivocation built into their questions. You don't get to say what you mean and in what context. But that isn't the point of it. The usual tracking sites are collecting your answers to categorize your IP address in the databases. You don't get free entertainment; you are the product.

    I think I got "7". I closed it. My one contradiction was I thought WWII was just, yet I said killing is wrong. I was thinking of murder, but the question said killing so it's a contradiction.
