Your GF score is 73.

Learner
As a Learner, you're smart enough to know better, yet you're still not fully informed about reality. Around 15% of the population are Learners. You have the critical thinking skills to be a truly free individual, but you haven't exercised them enough yet. From time to time, you're still manipulated by the powers that be, although you frequently learn from those mistakes and refuse to be exploited again. You buy things because they are practical, not because they're cool.

If you were in The Matrix, you would have taken the red pill, but you would still be in a state of mild disbelief about the nature of reality. You are essentially unplugged, but still untrained. With more knowledge, you could become a true free thinker.

  • Your GF score is 79.
    (Out of a range of 0 - 100, where 0 = mind slave, and 100 = free thinker.)
    Mind slave Free thinker
    0 (You) 100


    Free Thinker
    Welcome to the top 5%. You're a true free thinker and a person who is well informed about the reality in which you live. Although you may have been easily manipulated earlier in life, you eventually gained lucidity and developed a healthy sense of skepticism that you now automatically apply to your observations and experiences. You are endlessly curious about human behavior and the nature of the universe, and you have one or more lifestyle habits that most people would consider odd or unusual. You are not only of very high intelligence, you are also extremely creative in one or more areas (music, art, software development, inventing, etc.)
    If you were in The Matrix, you would have taken the red pill, completed the combat training, and started fighting (and beating) agents from day one.

    Your architects: You have cast off reality distortions taught to you by your parents, schooling, corporate advertising and government propaganda. You create your own beliefs based on what serves you best, without much regard for what the rest of the crowd is doing. You are guided by your own internal code of ethics (which may or may not agree with politically-correct ethical codes) rather than any pre-set system of ethics (such as from any one religion).

Your architects: You have always been an independent thinker. You rebelled against your parents, schoolteachers and always chose to hang out with smart friends who weren't necessarily that popular to the "in" crowd. Increasingly, you shape your own world by deciding what actions to take based on your own internal drive rather than what society tells you is right.

Action steps: Learn more. Educate yourself through alternative media and cutting-edge books. Read the answers below to get started.

[quote="Doctor Duffy":cc5f8][quote=elstatec]what test?

it just loads up this shit with a score even though i didnt do any test oOo:[/quote]

Same happened to me. Ninty twicked us.

I've always been thinking that same stuff ever since I saw the Matrix. Maybe Im just some guy living in his own world, with made up humans and stuff? Maybe everyone has their own version of the world? Maybe one guy has a bunch of blobs? Maybe his world, there is no society, but a bunch of blue gas floating around, and the purpose in life is to turn white? Maybe my whole society and the world out there is just a fake. Maybe when you guys respond, if you do, its really some guy giving me a realistic response, as if I really were having human contact. Maybe the world freezes while Im inside or sleeping? Maybe the architect starts the world up again as soon as I view it? Maybe just around the corner, there is a car ready to turn, but not going to until I aprroach it? Maybe there is no architect? Maybe Im a videogame? Or a TV show? Maybe Im a test-matter on a TV show, paranoid and confused, while a bunch of bugs laugh at me on their television sets? Or do they have television sets? Maybe the whole world is fake. Maybe the sun really doesnt exist? Maybe theres something out there the goverment is hiding from us? Maybe a whole new world? Maybe they live there? Maybe its a paradise, and we go there when we become goverment officials? Maybe our goverment really isnt the real goverment, but just a bunch of guys to pose as mannequins, just to appear they really are leading us? Coiuld that mean we're controlled by martians? How about my DNA? Its not unique - is it? Maybe, since its been passed down body to body for thousands of years - maybe our DNA is what controls our lives? Maybe our DNA finds a new body to inhabit every 100 years? Maybe our DNa is an alien lifeform? My hands are tired. Maybe my hands arent tired? Maybe the gov't is controlling me, telling me my hands are tired, so I stop delving intro the truth? Maybe there is no truth? Maybe its all real.[/quote:cc5f8]

The test tricks you a bit because he goes on the "techincal" answer rather than an obvious one.

For example the "The United States of America is a Democracy." statement. I knew that, techincally, we are not called a democracy, officially we are called a Federal Republic, but because we are given the right to vote, we are looked at as a democratic society. But, techincally, we are not a democracy.

Also the answer for the "In 1945, the U.S. dropped two atomic bombs on civilian populations in Japan in order to force Japan's surrender and "save a million lives" statement is a half-truth. oOo:

Yes. It says in the later explaination that "Only 50,000 AMERICANS would have died in an invasion". It fails to account, however, for the number of Japanese that would have been killed. If you know history, you know the Japanese would have killed themselves before risking being captured by an enemy, especially a low lifeform such as a round eye. On Okinowa, all Japanese civlians were marched to and over a cliff by the military. There is no reason to believe that it would have been any different in Mainland Japan. 1 million Japanese would have easily died. But yes, it is also true that it was a show of force for the Soviet Union.

FALSE. Although this was the "official" history taught to U.S. schoolchildren, we now know that the U.S. dropped nuclear bombs on an essentially defeated Japan. Japan was, in fact, attempting to initiate surrender negotiations even before the bombs were dropped. The primary purpose of bombing Japan was to demonstrate to the Soviet Union that the United States not only had nuclear weapons, but was willing to use them, thus cementing America's nuclear stance during the ramp-up to the Cold War. This explanation, of course, remains highly debatable, but the fact remains that even U.S. military leaders estimated no more than 50,000 Americans would be lost in a D-Day style assault on Japan. It's a huge number of lives, yes, but nowhere near one million. The two nuclear bombs, by the way, killed at least 200,000 Japanese civilians.[/quote:f7983]

um... yes, thank you, short hand.

Like I said, half-truth. The emporer wanted to surrender but his Japanese Generals would not let him.
