Conspiracy test on BBC website

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/6161425.stm

I got 26-55 "Your responses indicate that you have a medium level of belief in conspiracy theories"

Interesting questions, seems I trust my friends but don't trust the government, espcially when it comes to "suppressing evidence of the existence of aliens", because like, I AM one, doh!

You know the NSA are using that site to figure out who to aim their pulsed ULF microwave beams at, right?

I don't trust governments at all. On the whole, politicians are a bunch of self-serving liars. Friends lie too when they can get away with it and when they think that their lies won't hurt anyone, or when they think that the potential for personal gain is greater than the potential for hurting others. Apparently this means that I have a high level of belief in conspiracy theories, but actually I just have very negative opinions in regards to human nature.

The scary thing is that according to this survey, thinking that governments and politicians are out to scratch the backs of their friends and line their own pockets is now considered a conspiracy theory.

I don't trust Graham Norton.

Hello.

You do know that they record your responses, right?

Goodbye.

The thing is, I dont have a 'high level of belief in conspiracy theorys', proably because I couldnt give a flying toss and have better things to do, like answer questionnaires and stuff! :)

*You may also feel that you are an outsider in terms of society*

I'm that chatty, I could talk a stick insect to sleep. I love going out for drinks/meals/nighouts with my mates!

I personally think this is a load of tosh!

Is bull! :)

Me too. I just got the same score 51/75. Im a cop. I AM society LOL. This is just as bad as the IQ test. How does friends info, classify as conspiracy?

lol pretty funny.

Cyg: I got the same but most of my "scores" were from the non-friends things (politics, aliens etc), because basically I trust my friends because they are aligned with me moreorless. So that general summary is half wrong.

Yeah, unbelievable that question. It's like saying "Air contains Oxygen" is a conspiracy theory!

5/75 too...what a crappy questions...

I think the questionnaire is nothing to do with believing in conspiracy theories.

It's probably a stupid thing to show that in general the public would trust the word of their friends over a politician.

I won't extend on that further, as no doubt this thread will be locked soon as it's not of a programming/technical nature :)

26-50. Seemed pretty generic and not at all very convincing.

the bbc is a government entity, dont give them any info!

Well, its been going for over a day now... Go figure! :/

well I cunningly mentioned "website" in the thread title in the hope it might slip through. Plus it's an "On-line" questionnaire...AND no one's gone off the rails and ruined it.

I am NOT surprised at ANY of the numbers reported so far... and I am writing them all down so I can tell the people that give me the little pointy aluminium hat (that protects me from the brain sucking beams) who to ZAP! ;)

26-50
Your responses indicate that you have a medium level of belief in conspiracy theories. You may well be quite trusting of your close friends, partners, those you work with and others but sometimes cannot be sure of all of them all of the time. You may also feel that your voice in terms of wider political decisions is rarely heard or acted upon, perhaps because government and big business is more concerned with their own interests than with those of the average person.

uh yeah... ok....

The thing is with the test is that you can say that the Moon Landings were fake and answer Totally Agree with all the conspiracy ones and say you totally trust your friends, and you'll get the same rating as if you say your friends are stabbing you in the back but stuff like aliens is humbug (which seems to be what a lot of people generally think haha).
