The Burnet News Club skills improve with practice, but some people find their personality is more inclined towards one skill than the others. Have a go at our (not very scientific!) personality test to see which skill sums up your mindset. Let us know whether you think the result is accurate in the comments section!
My mindset was said to have the 'Open Mindedness' Skill.
I personally agree with this statement, although I think that I also have a mind for reasoning and scepticism. This is because Open-Mindedness can be partly to do with reasoning and scepticism as you need to be open-minded when arguing against people and coming up with new and strong points for an argument.
Open-Mindedness relates to the way in which people approach the views and beliefs of others. You would need an open mind in order to think of arguments against another person’s view. However you would need to be as equally good at reasoning and scepticism, in order to apply that open-mindedness into a piece of writing.
Hi Olivia, sorry if this question is off topic but can you comment on my post; the link is 'Is the government doing the right thing by letting most bankers carry on with their jobs?' (Or just search up 'Meticulous Cheetah!') Thank you!!!😉
Mine is scepticism and I total agree because i like to see other peoples point of view and see if I can change their minds or try and see there point of view in their way which to me helps me with my every day life.Thank you Olivia for this wonderful.
i got open mindedness . i agree with this quite a bit because , i do like listening to other peoples arguments but i think I can personally over top what they have said , and that sort of builds up to layers of different people's ideas ! And thats what i really like our the economist lessons!!
I did it three times, and I got OPEN-MINDEDNESS every time. I think that it does define me the best because I sometimes like to think about how other people feel or why some people might opt for the other side to me.
If I were to chose another BNC skill that might define me the best, I think it would be curiosity, because I LOVE to ask questions and always want to know the reason behind something; also, I'm not really good at waiting for a surprise.
I got "OPEN-MINDEDNESS!
OPEN-MINDEDNESS sums up your mindset the most. You have the ability to find common ground with others and you find solutions that work for everyone. "
I guess I can concur with this, as I like to do lots of reasoning (and for and against things) and challenging...
I got curiousity because I always ask so many questions and talk all day - even when I sleep ! I find people's ideas interesting and can change my opinion or strengthen them if necessary.
I was reasons, and I agree with that because (I'm giving you a REASON here) I think that I use that knowledge that I have and use that to see if my current reasons are accurate. I do think I'm quite curious (or to be more accurate... NOSY) but I like to make sure that I think WHY that is true, not just the pure facts. To be honest, I don't register pure facts very well... Great quiz, would recommend!!!
I got Reasoning and I think that is the right one for me. This is because I ask people why they think that and i reason with them. But i do think I'm also Scepticism because I'm not easily convinced about things especially when people persuade me to do things I don't really want to do
I got Open-Mindness and I agree. I think Open-Mindness is the most important skill because you need to listen and be willing to change your mind after hearing someone else's opinion.
I think I am Open-Minded because I do change my mind a lot during BNC and I think that quiz actually made me think about what I would do in those situations and some of them were ties but you always need to make a final decision.
I got open mindness
I totally agree with this because I agree that I am never sticking on the same idea and I want to just grow and expand on my idea. I also agree with this because I feel like I am a person who clearly wants to just explore and work with others so I can share my opinions with others.
CURIOUSITY is mine due by i’m quite the one who is wondering and want to learn more, this means with these skills I would be able to question others and persuading myself to find new information!
OPEN MINDNESS due to i’m filled with new ways to sort things out, persuading my own self to learn religious and crisis, with skill I would able to be confident and not be afraid! (Sorry about first comment, though I had that skill before, but that was my prediction...)

Great reflection here! And you're absolutely right, these skills are often dependent on each other and it's hard to separate them out.
