Even though the JP sits on the hallowed benches in the sanctity of the shade of the fruits in the orchards of the trees of justice, he is not totally obfuscated from introspection on the magnitude of his openmindedness. How openminded are you?
Of course, it takes someone with a couple operational synapses only a few moments to poo-poo the idea of an objective measurement of openmindedness. You can't objectively measure the subjectivity of your points of view, can you? You may not have thought so, but luckily Conservapedia is coming to your rescue.
This bastion of Americana lists several questions we can all use to test our openmindedness:
Did you think, or still think, that the Strategic Defense Initiative is impossible?
Do you think that it is impossible that the Shroud of Turin is authentic?
Do you think that it is impossible for the speed of light to have been different in the past?
Do you think that it is impossible to measure openmindedness?
Do you think that it is possible that evolution did not occur?
Do you think that is impossible for the power of 2 in Newtonian gravity, whereby the gravitational force is proportional to 1/r2, to be more precise with an exponent that is slightly different from 2, such as a gravitational force proportional to 1/r2.00000001?
A series of ten such questions can be posed, and one's openmindedness can be scored based on how often they declare something to be impossible and thereby demonstrate a level of being "receptive" to ideas.
Did everybody pass?
