I'm definitely "reflective" -- and had serious doubts about the article until I had an opportunity to reflect on it! :-)

I challenge this statement based on the test results provided in the article:

"Importantly, researchers discovered the association between thinking styles and religious beliefs were not tied to the participants’ thinking ability or IQ."

Intuition is not cognition. I disagree with the fence-straddling study author - it's clear that one approach to "problem solving" is better than the other.
