But I find the description of the experiment to show that this "study", itself, is really a poor construct for the hypothesis.

Self-scoring mechanisms in tests like this are notoriously unreliable for statistically significant results, given the wide array of un-measured variables that could have come into play during the testing and self-scoring examinations.

Although I fully agree with the premise that PROBABLY people who engage in more logical thinking will tend to avoid reliance upon faith and intuition in problem-solving, I'm not sure this specific set of tests has much to offer in proof.
