Knowledge Thermometer

This week, we are revisiting some scales I have developed mostly because I am still on hols, a little because they are a bit fun, and also because they might be worthy of reconsideration. Enjoy...

Luckily I have constructed my very own scale so that after a little research, I can gauge how much to trust ideas and information.

- Active disinformation - Lies being spread with malicious intent

- Zombie idea - We know it's not true but it just won't seem to die

- Truthy - Feels like it should be true but there is no actual evidence

- Wrong - Recognised as not the case

Mounting evidence - This looks promising

- Yep, it's a thing - Certain within the bounds of current knowledge

It's handy for assessing information we are getting now.

It can also be used for self-assessment. What's ONE THING you tell yourself about yourself that fits into these categories?
