I think that in the case of this test "gullibility" is really a measure of "how closely do you follow the latest in conspiracy theories."

I follow them quite well, but consider some of them stupid bullshit.

Like the dental filling conspiracy. I know someone with poor dentition, virtually no money, and used what few $$ she had to have all of her amalgam fillings replaced with gold.

Her teeth are still bad, and she's still wacky.

You don't think mercury is toxic, or just not enough of a concern to spend money removing or...?

Even more than "how closely do you follow the latest in conspiracy theories", it's "how closely do you agree with us on the latest in conspiracy theories."

Make sure you ask it "Are you really dead?"

"Do you ever give positive answers?"
