HELPFUL PERSONAL GROWTH LINKS
One of the challenges of examining one's beliefs in the ANTM is considering them critically. There is a lot of emotion vested in maintaining a certain set of beliefs about a group, a person, or even doctrine. Critical thinking limits emotional biases that cloud objective thoughts about something that keeps a system of thought from standing on its own merits. If a system of belief can not withstand critical analysis, then perhaps, it needs to be modified, viewed as less than reliable or even discarded.

You may believe that you are able to make independent decisions and even have independent thoughts. This test may reveal that you are actually bound by the opinion of your leader.
