Thanks everyone.

I don't think it's a study of atheists per se though, as I understand it the researchers are looking at cognitive style based on a person's beliefs, level of religiosity, etc. and how they react to things and perceive the world, including believers and nonbelievers. I could be wrong though!

It will be interesting to see the results.

I wasn't really sure what to write for my 8-10 sentence thing about a time when I reasoned my way out of something and the outcome but I guess there's no right or wrong answers in these things. Are there?

And I never know if I've given the right answers to those moral dilemma things either.

Done. Can someone who gets the email of results post it in this thread please? I also missed that part (blaming the small screen on my phone)...

One of the questions I looked for an additional option on the scale, "with bells on".

That was interesting. I often find those surveys a little frustrating because I want to be able to explain my answer. I often feel the question and answer have an assumed explanation and that mine is different.

I want to be more specific but I guess I will wait till the survey is all done.
