Baron variables
We use (R) to indicate reverse scoring.

(B1) Allowing oneself to be convinced by a solid opposing argument is a sign of good character.
(B2) People should take into consideration evidence that goes against conclusions they favor.
(B3) Being undecided or unsure is the result of muddled thinking. (R)
(B4) People should revise their conclusions in response to relevant new information.
(B5) Changing your mind is a sign of weakness. (R)
(B6) People should search actively for reasons why they might be wrong.
(B7) It is OK to ignore evidence against your established beliefs. (R)
(B8) It is important to be loyal to your beliefs even when evidence is brought to bear against them. (R)
(B9) When we are faced with a new question, the first answer that occurs to us is usually best. (R)
(B10) Good thinking leads to uncertainty when there are good arguments on both sides.
(B11) When faced with a new question, we should consider more than one possible answer before reaching a conclusion.

Conspiracy Theories
The following is our translation of the original Czech text (see below). We have classified the conspiracies into groups. You can see that some of the statements are not conspiracies, but rather lack of knowledge, etc. For the sake of simplicity, we will refer to all these statements as conspiracies. Again, we use (R) to indicate reverse evaluation.

“Hard core” Conspiracies
(C15) The trail behind the jets is made up of chemicals released to affect human health or natural processes.
(C14) Humans never actually landed on the moon, it was all recorded in TV studios. 

Shallow Knowledge
(C5) We are warmer in summer than in winter because the distance from the Earth to the Sun is smaller in the summer than in the winter.
(C7) At very high temperatures, iron can evaporate. (R)
(C10) An astronaut in a spacecraft is not affected by gravity because it’s far from Earth.
(C9) 100 million is the same as one billion.
