Are you often attracted to conspiracy theories? Take an online test to see if you have a schizotypal personality

here are my results:

Psychological research has found that people who believe everything the mainstream media says often have a condition called shit-4-brains.

Researchers -- psychologists and social scientists, mostly -- in the U.S. and United Kingdom say data indicate that, contrary to those mainstream media stereotypes, "conspiracy theorists" appear to be more sane than people who accept official versions of controversial and contested events.

The most recent study was published in July 2013 by psychologists Michael J. Wood and Karen M. Douglas of the University of Kent in the UK. Entitled "'What about Building 7?' A Social Psychological Study of Online Discussion of 9/11 Conspiracy Theories," the study compared "conspiracist," or pro-conspiracy theory, and "conventionalist," or anti-conspiracy, comments on news websites.

The researchers noted that they were surprised to find that it is now more conventional to leave so-called conspiracist comments than conventional ones.

"Of the 2174 comments collected, 1459 were coded as conspiracist and 715 as conventionalist," the researchers wrote.

'The research showed that people who favored the official account of 9/11 were generally more hostile'

So, among people who comment on news articles, those who discount official government accounts of events like the 9/11 attacks and the assassination of John F. Kennedy outnumber believers by more than two-to-one. That means the pro-conspiracy commenters are those who are now expressing what is considered conventional wisdom, while the anti-conspiracy commenters represent a small, beleaguered minority that is often scoffed at and shunned.

Perhaps becoming frustrated that their alleged mainstream viewpoints are no longer considered as such by the majority, those who are anti-conspiracy commenters often showed anger and disgust in their posts.

"The research... showed that people who favoured the official account of 9/11 were generally more hostile when trying to persuade their rivals," said the study.

Also, it seems that those who do not believe in the conspiracies were not just hostile but fanatically attached to their own conspiracy theories as well. The researchers said that, according to the anti-conspiracy holders, their own theory of 9/11 -- one which says 19 Muslims, none of whom could fly commercial airliners with any proficiency, pulled off an amazing surprise attack under the direction of a man on dialysis (Osama bin Laden) who was living in a cave somewhere in Afghanistan -- is unwaveringly true.

Meanwhile, "conspiracists," on the hand, did not have to pretend to have a theory that completely explained the events of 9/11. "For people who think 9/11 was a government conspiracy, the focus is not on promoting a specific rival theory, but in trying to debunk the official account," the researchers said.

Scientists Discover Gene That Predisposes Ashkenazi J*ws to Schizophrenia

Variations of the DNST3 gene make Ashkenazi J*ws 40 percent more likely to develop schizophrenia and similar diseases.

is psychiatry really that easy ?

Just look for someone that makes what you think is the wrong decision too quickly and you got yourself a bonafide medical diagnosis

fucking hell man

did they really go to university for over 4 years for that shit ?

Those figures do not appear to be reliable. In polls, only 15% of people claimed the US government was responsible for 9/11. See: [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)]

Abut 4% of the general population suffer from schizotypy, and thus may be prone to such conspiracy theory beliefs. I expect others might just have low intelligence or poor education, and that may explain why they uncritically fall for these conspiracies.

The majority of the population (46%) believe Al-Qaeda was responsible.

Piss off, Tel Aviv maggot.

This.

Eat shit, OP you genetic psychopath.

Actually stringing 5 words together. Impressive. But wrong.

No, halfwit, I am from the UK, and RC.

But really, no need to be upset if it your test result told you have schizotypy. 4% of the population have this, so you are in good company. I know there is a stigma to mental health, but you should not let that stigma get to you.

Another site with shitty coding and spelling and grammatical errors. Probably coded by the same piece is shit.

It's only common sense that dumber people are gullible and believe authority and official stories.

Smarter people aren't as gullible and do investigative critical research.

Please, intelligent individuals who have done their homework know

Anyway smart people don't fall for the CIA created al-qaeda lie either. Osama bin laden was a CIA asset/agent named Tim Osman who died from kidney failure in 2001.

It wasn't Al-Qaeda or arab rebels, and intelligent people who have done their homework know exactly who was behind it now.

Another wacko conspiracy theory? Schizotypy! Either schizotypy or just plain old fashioned stupefaction.

Sadly if you suffer with schizotypy, there is not any effective treatments as yet. Which means schizotypy patients will unfortunately suffer the symptoms of schizotypy all their lives, probably.


Schizotypy symptoms include:

Being a loner and lacking close friends outside of the immediate family

Flat emotions or limited or inappropriate emotional responses

Persistent and excessive social anxiety

Incorrect interpretation of events, such as a feeling that something that is actually harmless or inoffensive has a direct personal meaning

Peculiar, eccentric or unusual thinking, beliefs or mannerisms

Suspicious or paranoid thoughts and constant doubts about the loyalty of others

Belief in special powers, such as mental telepathy or superstitions

Unusual perceptions, such as sensing an absent person's presence or having illusions

Dressing in peculiar ways, such as appearing unkempt or wearing oddly matched clothes

Peculiar style of speech, such as vague or unusual patterns of speaking, or rambling oddly during conversations
