Pretty interesting little test (21 questions) :)

My results:

Rationalist

Rationalists are excellent reasoners in all respects. They can cogently evaluate others' reasoning as well as their own whenever they choose to. They can also think fluidly about facts and figures, and they can evaluate and plan for the future with aplomb. They're rarely susceptible to the cognitive foibles that trip up others. When they apply themselves, Rationalists can master most cognitive tasks. Approximately 9% of the populace are Rationalists.


You are Reflective: You dislike jumping to conclusions quickly. You’re adept at reflecting on your own thoughts. When it looks like your intuitions might be leading you astray, you don’t have a problem overriding them — instead, you take the time to re-evaluate the situation and figure out the wisest course of action.
You are Quantitative: You’re good at working with numbers. Not in a schoolbook way, necessarily — you’re adept at putting this skill to use while solving problems in all manner of real-world situations.
You are Prepared: You tend to think clearly and comprehensively about the future. This makes you an excellent planner; you’re usually well prepared when you begin a new project, and you’re rarely caught by surprise.
You are Skeptical: You treat new information and ideas with caution and skepticism. Spurious arguments rarely fool or confuse you, and your beliefs are based on foundations of hard logic. You possess a fine-tuned BS detector.


You racked up 100% of the highest possible rationality score!

Your quantitative reasoning score: 100%
Your future-based reasoning score: 100%
Your evidence evaluation score: 100%
Your cognitive awareness score: 100%



This quiz also assessed your abilities across 7 specific reasoning skills. You were found to be especially strong at 7 of them, in the average range at 0 of them, and on the weaker side in 0 of them.

I was really lucky on the two time-saving questions (the ones that asked how much you would pay to save an hour). I am not good at determining the worth of my time lol :p

I understand what you mean; it is a little odd to me too. But I am really bad at making usernames, and this one is at least kind of meaningful (in my opinion).

Yeah, I'm bad too, lol. This test is longer than I thought.

I wish it were longer. I want to see more of a distinction between what I am best at and what (aside from determining the monetary value of my time) I am not good at. That is, assuming I would actually get any answers wrong on the longer one :cool: lol.

Journalist

Most Journalists are open to new experiences and enjoy learning about others. They also have a skeptical streak that makes them difficult to trick or manipulate. Their combination of openness and skepticism make them fine judges of character. Approximately 13% of the populace are Journalists.

You are Intuitive: You tend to trust your intuitions — you size up situations quickly and stick with your judgments once you’ve made them. This tendency can be useful when you need to think on your feet, or when you’re using a skill that you’ve already honed to perfection.

You are Subjective: People and stories interest you more than facts and figures do; you focus on the essence of ideas over the details. Your mind is more qualitative than quantitative. This trait lets you focus on the big picture over the nitty-gritty.

You are Carefree: You tend to live in the moment. You don’t waste a lot of emotional energy fretting about the future. Instead, you focus on getting the most out of life right now.

You are Skeptical: You treat new information and ideas with caution and skepticism. Spurious arguments rarely fool or confuse you, and your beliefs are based on foundations of hard logic. You possess a fine-tuned BS detector.

Skeptic

Skeptics are just that — skeptical. Not only do they question new information that they receive from others, but they also tend to treat their own thoughts and ideas with some suspicion. They tend to focus this critical perspective on the present, allowing their views to develop as they come across more information. Approximately 5% of the populace are Skeptics.

Meditator

Meditators often combine two features that are rarely seen together — a relaxed, big-picture worldview and a strong propensity to question their own judgments. This mixture inclines Meditators to ponder life's big questions, which they can consider in great depth if they choose. Approximately 6% of the populace are Meditators.

The last 2 paragraphs do not fit me at all tbh :|

Remember that this is not a personality test. It is a test of how rational you are. This should be evident based on the fact that there are correct answers for each of the questions (the two free-response ones obviously have some leniency).

So the focus is not supposed to be on the archetype you are assigned. It should be on your results; which types of questions you answered well and which types you answered poorly.

You are all looking only at the really general result. If you read further into your results, you will (hopefully) be able to derive something more meaningful from the test.
