I am not really on board with this study's interpretation of common sense - it seems to measure how close the things that I think are to the average. Which is a very literal take on 'common' sense. Considering the tests have a ton of questions about spirituality, and advanced technologies, for me the exercise devolved into trying to guess what others would think of it (which turned out to be the point after all). And the author's person seems really concerning. She is someone, who, by her own admission struggles with grade school math such as fractions, yet proclaims her intellectual superiority over people who think 'obviously' silly things, like Ivermectin curing covid. The idea of horse medicine curing Covid makes about as much sense as heart medicine helping with erections. Although, somewhat amusingly, she seems to score below average on the common sense test. The very cynical take of journalists being both substandard critical thinkers, and unwilling consider alternative viewpoints seems to be true in this case.
