Link to sample test.. https://yourmist.streamlit.app/

I managed 18/20 because I’m a skeptical and distrustful old bastard. And proud.

18/20 as well. I wonder what those two are.

But taking a test to see how gullible I am felt really weird, like that’s exactly what gullible people do. What sceptical level-minded person trusts a freaking online quiz?

Haha, yea I thought the same thing,. Maybe that’s the test. See who’s gullible enough to do the test.
