The Confirmation Bias Test

> You believe something. You want to know if it's true.

> You can collect one piece of evidence.

> One option can only ever confirm your belief.

> The other could break it.

> Wason (1960) ran this kind of test and found that only about 20% of adults reliably pick the one that could break the belief. The rest ask for proof of what they already think.

> 8 scenarios. Pick the evidence you'd actually want. I'll score your falsification reflex.
