This study will examine your beliefs about a variety of issues. You will first be asked to briefly explain your views via a short essay and a couple of interactive games for exploring your ideas. This will be repeated for two topics. You will then be asked to complete a short survey on politics and personality.

Please think about this question:

In the box below at left, please type all of your own important values, beliefs or ideas that are relevant to your answer.
Please type each separate value, belief or idea on a line of its own; each can be as long or as short as you wish.
To make sure your list is complete, please ask yourself for each item whether there is a reason behind it, and if that reason is missing, add it to the list.
When you are done, hit "submit changes," and your ideas will appear as nodes below.
Now ask yourself whether any of these values, beliefs or ideas are connected to, support, or provide a reason for any other value, belief or idea.
For those that are connected, create a link between two nodes by clicking first one node and then another.
When you are done, click "submit changes," and the figure below will be updated.
Think about any additional values, beliefs or ideas you may have omitted, or connections between them, and add those.
You can also edit an existing idea by double-clicking on an existing node and editing in the box below right, or delete links by double-clicking on two nodes just as you would create a new link.
Please continue this process until you feel the network you have created is a complete representation of your values, beliefs, and ideas on this topic.
