That was fun, I scored lower (2.1) dogmatism and higher on the test (840), which they claim supports their hypothesis.
In day to day life the major difference I notice in terms of speed and intelligence personally is that I'm often slow to respond to questions.
It didn't even occur to me to be self-conscious about this until eventually a friend pointed it out, but he kindly framed it as "you think before you speak" and this seems to have served me well.

E.g. the healthcare one doesn't work for my country where universal healthcare is a law and thus State truly has duty to provide it and anyone who believes otherwise is objectively wrong. I have also received more points for being "dogmatic" in that having strong opinion (that is different than mine of "neutral") on migration is a bad person.
- bobsoap 3y agoJust because something is the current status quo in your country doesn't mean you can't have a different opinion. I think the question is perfectly valid no matter where you live. The irony is, faulting the question because "that's just the way it is here" beautifully illustrates the exact premise of the experiment. I'd say that explains a 3.4 score (at least in this game).
- maxerickson 3y agoIt can just be a matter of separating government and society. If you do that, expecting government to follow the law isn't dogmatic at all. It's also not necessarily dogmatic to believe that you are more informed about an issue than the average person that disagrees with you. Like sure, it can be dogmatic, but it isn't necessarily dogmatic.
