Nice! Is this a recruitment tool like the Scientology personality test? I guess it worked ’cause I just created an account :)
So, now that I’ve joined the cult—what’s the major deity worshiped in these parts? I hear a lot about this Omega guy, maybe that’s it. I also understand that salvation has something to do with lots and lots of liquid nitrogen. Oh, and some really cool robots!
Slightly more seriously, I think delivering this Wason test in a handy computer program which you can take with no-one watching you may increase the success rate. I could quickly test dozens of triplets and I tested any idea that came to my mind. In a supervised test where I’d had to ask the test administrator whether a given triplet was correct I might have been afraid to appear stupid by asking about overly many triplets or overly “silly” triplets or something like that.
(I’d personally never heard about this test before and ran the program without first reading the article—I tested 50 or so combinations and at one point crashed the program by feeding it floating point numbers. I got the rule right.)
