Default Cognitive Style Research Project

This is a legitimate research project and they're having trouble getting enough participants for a full project. It isn't a survey and you will be asked to provide your name.

I was contacted on Twitter by the account @MoralPsychLab, which I follow, and asked if I could distribute to survey to more people so I said I would.

Obviously you don't have to do it but it's For Science and that's a good thing

Research project linky.

It has questions about religiosity or lack thereof at the start.

Enjoy!

A maths problem (if you don't get paid in AUS$ ), an essay (okay, 8-10 sentences ) and quite a number of N/A answers at the end. Took me about 10 minutes if anyone else is wondering about the time.

Yes it took me about 10 minutes.

Thanks Volts and Xeno. I'm sure the researchers will appreciate it.

Done. If you leave your email address they will send you the results. I love reading results of studies on atheists

Damn, I must have missed that part!

Seems an interesting study, although I did find one question in particular a tad difficult. I wasn't sure whether to write "20 years" for how long I've been an atheist, if we're being pragmatic, or about 5-6 years since I first ever thought about it.
