Update on 'Are you rational'

The problems of inadequate research, jumping to conclusions, and the need to meet a deadline are all evident from this post and the earlier one. This has necessitated me to post another separate post with an update.

I wanted to post the earlier post last evening, so to meet the deadline I went ahead and posted with insufficient material (which would have been available had I looked at Arunn's posts a little more in detail.

On a more leisurely look at Arunn's posts, I found that there was a separate link to a post and a site where you could have your worldview 'assessed'. That might have been a more appropriate link than the link to the discussion of rationality vis-a-vis, Godel.

Enough of the blah... here are the links:
What is your Worldview ?
Arunn's Worldview quiz.

Now here is a link that would justify my haste in producing an 'incomplete' post - Worse is Better.

Where do I stand as far as my Worldview is concerned?
My results are given below (on a max score of 10):
Your rating regarding science/non-science: 8
Your rating regarding values & humankind: 7
Your position on the worldview spectrum: (7,8)

Are you rational?

Arty has come up with a dilemma - is she rational or irrational? Have you done any of the things she mentions? .. or anything similar to it. I confess that I have done many similar things. Read Rationed Madness.

A related post by Arunn in nOnoscience, where he asks whether it is possible for a rational being to know whether it is rational or not - Rationality and Gödel.
