Question 1: What best describes the scientific method's central mindset?
Prefer simple stories over measurable outcomes
Collect facts without questioning their interpretation
Form hypotheses, test them, and update beliefs based on evidence
Rely on authority and tradition for explanations
Question 2: Which behavior most reduces bias when evaluating a new claim?
Only reading sources that agree with the claim
Accepting claims if they feel intuitive
Focusing solely on how popular the claim is
Seeking disconfirming evidence and alternative explanations
Question 3: What is the key benefit of reproducibility in experiments?
Proves a theory is absolutely true forever
Ensures experiments never need statistical analysis
Makes research faster by skipping peer review
Confirms findings are robust and not due to chance or error
Question 4: When designing an experiment, what's a high-leverage framing move?
Rely on a single idealized case to represent all situations
Avoid quantifying outcomes to keep interpretations flexible
Define a clear, falsifiable prediction before collecting data
Collect lots of data first and then choose a hypothesis
Question 5: Which statement best busts the myth 'science proves things absolutely'?
All scientific results are conspiracies until proven otherwise
Scientists never change their minds under any circumstances
Scientific claims are always guesswork without utility
Science provides models that are provisionally supported and updated with new evidence
Question 6: In applied science, why is measuring effect size important beyond p-values?
It makes statistical testing unnecessary
It ensures results are always generalizable to any context
It proves causation without experimental control
It shows the magnitude and practical importance of an effect
Question 7: Which practice most improves communication of scientific uncertainty?
Avoid mentioning uncertainty to prevent confusion
Replace quantitative uncertainty with strong metaphors only
Report plausible ranges and explain assumptions behind estimates
Use only single-point estimates without context
Question 8: Which choice best reflects a scientist's ethical responsibility in research?
Only publish when results fully match initial predictions
Hide negative or messy results to protect reputation
Report methods and data transparently to allow verification
Prioritize sensational claims to secure funding regardless of rigor
