In reply to the discussion: Test your susceptibility to misinformation with this Cambridge test. Good luck. [View all]Quixote1818
(31,115 posts)83. What was your answer on the eye color question? I was reluctant to say yes but I'm sure I had seen studies saying
some eye colors have higher intelligence.
Snip: There is some evidence that people with blue eyes may be more intelligent, but there is no scientific consensus to support this claim:
A University of Louisville study found that people with blue eyes may be more studious, strategic, and focused than people with brown eyes. The study also found that people with blue eyes may perform better on exams.
A University of Louisville paper found that people with light eyes may perform better at behaviors that require delay, self-pacing, and non-reacting.
I'm wondering if that is one that I missed. If I missed it then I'm not sure it's a good question since there are several studies that suggest this.

OP
You can take it over and over, but I can't figure out which one I missed because now I've got 20/20 correct.

I marked it real if it sounded plausible and fake if it sounded implausible/crazy.

Agree. I got the hotel bottel one wrong too but I stay in hotels for work all the time.

Yup. Pretty much a waste of time around here. As I suspected. MAGAts would be afraid to take it, so this

I don't mind multi-use. Unfortunately, I likely just read the headline and I interpreted it as: "Pack soap & shampoo"

It's the only question that didn't, from my perspective, have a correct answer.
