  19. Based on what and how do I choose the view that I use at any given time? Or I do not choose it, but it is given to me? If given, how, by whom or by what?
  20. Do I realize so clearly the presence of many aspects and ways of structuring a situation (perception and description of perceived reality) that I confidently and regularly choose various similar tools that are most appropriate to the case?
  21. Am I aware of the differences between neutral statements (observations, “cold” cognitions), evaluative positive and negative beliefs (attitudes, “warm” and “hot” cognitions) and my actual behavior?
  22. Assess the degree of truth (correspondence to the facts) of your ideas about the world and people:
  • in% of the supposed "full" truth;

  • in% of the average representatives of the same social stratum and the same level of education.
  1. How do I understand the fate?
  2. How do I understand causality?
  3. How do I imagine predetermination (determinism)? [If everything is predetermined (for example, by God), then what is the meaning of man’s choices? Is it possible to choose the most direct trajectory in a concrete tunnel, and only? Or is it the “wisdom” of the “Monday fan,” or a person who does not want to take responsibility for existence in the non-deterministic world, or a reflection of the fact that in every situation there is the most optimal choice?
