6. That's still a low score, so not RWA.

My score was very low, but I think some of the questions weren't well-worded. Maybe not even good indicators of the trait.

For example, I tend to trust the consensus among scientists and I'm not likely to accept alternative ideas without strong evidence to support them. (At which point, I'd expect most scientists to accept them too.)

So some of the questions about authority figures and "rabble rousers" could make me seem more like a RWA, if I'm thinking about science.
