The "political belief-bias" version of the "reasoning styles study " is awesome, precisely because how mind-killing it can be for people. I'd have it a LW norm that people always have to disclose their score when commenting on such issues. Though I might not be the best man to promote such a norm since I do admit I was pleased on getting a perfect score on resistance to both "liberal" and "conservative" belief bias.
:D
To bad the we can't pick and do the other versions of the test after we solve the one we got assigned.

I'm accordingly updating my probabilities of how reliable LW is on certain implicitly ideological issues.

So what do you think now? The reasoning-styles graph looks quite different to me now with 89 LW results in; could your top-sorted comment have caused gaming of it?
Here's the news article on this: http://www.yourmorals.org/blog/2011/11/how-to-use-groups-at-yourmorals-org/
And here's the group that the LW community just created: http://www.yourmorals.org/setgraphgroup.php?grp=623d5410f705f6a1f92c83565a3cfffc
I think it will be very interesting to see what we can all get on this.
