They lost me at the "naturally occurring" Vitamin E vs. "artificial"; it's the SAME THING. Molecules don't remember where they came from, once you have the end product, it's the same no matter whether manufactured or merely extracted. I got 85 but it's a test that is designed to make you believe in their version of "free-thinking".

Here's my three question test that's much more accurate:

Do you think that there are phenomena that not only are not explained by science, but cannot be explained by science?

True/Not Sure/False

It's impossible to use logic to arrive at a true answer from false premises.

True/Not Sure/False

You cannot argue with a person's beliefs.

True/Not Sure/False

Give yourself 3 points for each true, 2 for each Not Sure, 1 for each False.

8-9 points: Critical thinking is not your forte.
5-7 points: You are a bit credulous, no more than most people.
3-4 points: You exhibit signs of clear-headedness which undoubtedly cause the general population to shun you.
