- The Need for Cognition Scale

The 18 statements from the revised Need for Cognition Scale (Cacioppo et al., 1984) used in the Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education are shown below. Asterisks designate the items that are reverse scored.

I would prefer complex to simple problems.
I like to have the responsibility of handling a situation that requires a lot of thinking.
Thinking is not my idea of fun.*
I would rather do something that requires little thought than something that is sure to challenge my thinking abilities.*
I try to anticipate and avoid situations where there is likely a chance I will have to think in depth about something.*
I find satisfaction in deliberating hard and for long hours.
I only think as hard as I have to.*
I prefer to think about small, daily projects to long-term ones.*
I like tasks that require little thought once I’ve learned them.*
The idea of relying on thought to make my way to the top appeals to me.
I really enjoy a task that involves coming up with new solutions to problems.
Learning new ways to think doesn’t excite me very much.*
I prefer my life to be filled with puzzles that I must solve.
The notion of thinking abstractly is appealing to me.
I would prefer a task that is intellectual, difficult, and important to one that is somewhat important but does not require much thought.
I feel relief rather than satisfaction after completing a task that required a lot of mental effort.*
It’s enough for me that something gets the job done; I don’t care how or why it works.*
I usually end up deliberating about issues even when they do not affect me personally.

In dodgeball it was considered funny.

Is the UK losing its sense of humour? I blame brexit....

I blame Jeremy Corbyn, ever since he came to power the country has gone to the dogs. Him and his cronies feeding these stories to the liberal hand-wringing daily mail in an effort to make it appear less of a Labour rag.

Important chutney spoon news

It really is crackers to double dip a crisp | News | The Times & The Sunday Times

The game is up for double dippers: people who take a bite and then dip their saliva-covered crudités, crackers or crisps a second time when no one is looking really do spread germs.

The warning, just in time for the August barbecue season, finally adds scientific support to the outing of double dipping as a social crime in an episode of the Seinfeld comedy series.

To be fair from your posts that intent was not clear.
If you genuinely are concerned about an over reaction then shouldn't you be taking a similar position to me where you don't want such small events to be published in national news outlets? Surely the more attention we give people like this the worse we make the situation?

No you need the government to get in control & show they are in control then the public can go back to big brother etc.

Denying to the point its blatant is just stupid.
