Unlike RationalWikians, I am able to be more objective. I am far more able to look at issues outside an ideological box.

Cognitive flexibility is the ability to adapt our behaviour and thinking in response to the environment. When people are asked to think about multiple concepts simultaneously or change their approach to solving a problem, they need to demonstrate flexible thinking.  At RationalWiki, there is not a lot of cognitive flexibility.<ref>[https://www.foothillsacademy.org/community-services/parent-education/parent-articles/cognitive-flexibility#:~:text=Cognitive%20flexibility%20is%20the%20ability,need%20to%20demonstrate%20flexible%20thinking.

Here is an example of RW's cognitive inflexibility: I have an IQ in medical doctors range based on my college entrance example, my chess ranking of 2100, etc.   But over and over I hear at RW how I am not that smart. Why? It is because of ideological tribality and cognitive inflexibility. Recently, I helped a website achieve rank among the top 10 websites in terms of the highest traffic gain amount in the English speaking world as far as monthly web visits traffic. The website now receives around 3.5 million extra monthly visits. A dumb person couldn't do that.  

Here is an example of RationalWikians cognitive inflexibility: 1) I have an IQ in medical doctors range based on my ACT college entrance exam and other factors ([http://www.assessmentpsychology.com/iq.htm IQ scores and correlation with ACT/SAT/GRE scores]) 2) At Yahoo [[Chess]] (which had a ton of users when I used the platform) I achieved a score 2100 (A person with a ELO score between 2000-2200 is considered an Expert) and I won about 50% of my chess games with a high school chess champion. 3) Recently, I helped a website achieve rank among the top 10 websites in terms of the highest traffic gain amount in the English-speaking world as far as monthly web visits traffic.

The Stroop Color–Word TesT is a measure of executive function that measures selective attention and cognitive flexibility. When I have taken the test, I have no problems. I speculate that political ideologues score lower on the Stroop Color-Word Test. So perhaps editing RationalWiki lowers your Stroop Color-Word Test score. I partially say that political ideologues score lower on the Stroop Color-Word Test in jest, but it might be true.
