How rational are you really? Take the test

[Pyrrho]

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.

Free Spirit:
Most Free Spirits like to seek out new experiences; they prefer to enjoy these experience on an emotional level without poring over or analyzing them. They tend to enjoy the more colorful and artistic parts of everyday life. Approximately 21% of the populace are Free Spirits.

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 Open: You're not an aggressive skeptic or naysayer. You tend to consider information without immediately disputing it unless given clear reason to do so. Proving people wrong is not a high priority for you.

You racked up 42.11% of the highest possible rationality score!

You scored better than 10% of past users!

I got almost exactly the same as you except 39.47% rational and better than 5% of past users rather than 10%.

ETA: The breakdown after the test proceeded to tell me what a dumb fuck I am Oh well, we can't all be geniuses.

We're twins but I got 83. something %.  Obviously a very flawed test.

Ah that's nice. My result's parked between two geniuses or is that genii?

It's not brains, it's thinking style.

The questions about money I didn't really get, "how much would you pay for this". They really didn't make any sense to me at all, they were pretty vague and without knowing what I'm supposed to put my money towards, especially in yank currency, it was a little difficult to not give seemingly random answers.

There were two questions where you had to enter an amount of money in order to save an hour of time (the train ride and the weekend task). I think they just wanted to see if you were consistent in how you valued an hour of your time between the two scenarios.

I scored about average.

Skeptical thinking style

Also, reflective, subjective, carefree, and skeptical.

"Whee."

I thought there was too much emphasis placed on the delayed gratification aspect in too many questions. Out of 21 questions, there were about 5 of that kind.

Way to make him feel worse by correcting him!

[brewer]

Skeptic, 58%. Don't recall anymore details but the test told me I wouldn't so it must be valid.

Fuxxake, another internet quiz that's going to tell me about me. 

Pass.

I know but some of the logic questions had me baffled. Especially the pancakes one.
