Surely this just tests for freethinking and non-conformity. Much like
Milgram and Asch found.
About a third of people are highly suggestible and agreeable, they
readily follow authority, fall for scams and can be hypnotised. About
a third cannot be easily conned or hypnotised, are vigilant,
"disagreeable" and likely to go their own way.
Even of that highly sceptical, independent third, it takes a lot of
courage to say "I totally know this is bullshit, and I'm done". Only
a handful of Migram's subjects were able, not just to assert a moral
objection to hurting a fellow human being, but to question or see
through the whole ruse of fake scientists and stooges. Even if you can
spot that, it takes rather a rare human to act on it, to call it out
and walk away - or rather escape the parameters (get outside the box)
you've been placed within.
