Online information profile

Read through this list. If you agree with it, record an A.

  • People in my family count on me as a source of good information.
  • I often see things online that I’m pretty sure aren’t true.
  • I sometimes don’t do anything about false information because I’m not sure what the truth is.

 

Read through this list. If you agree with it, record a B.

  • I sometimes don’t do anything about false information because I’m afraid of hurting people’s feelings.
  • I sometimes don’t do anything about false information because I don’t think anyone else believes it.
  • I sometimes don’t do anything about false information because I don’t think anyone would listen to me.

 

If you answered mostly A’s, your online information profile is Trusted Source. You feel like other people rely on you to give them good information, and to help them find it.

If you answered mostly B’s, your online information profile is Laissez-Faire. You don’t stress too much about whether what you see online is true or not. Getting along with people is more important to me than correcting them.
