CLE:ToK Survey Module 1 Part 1

The document is a self-survey asking the respondent to consider different scenarios involving two fictional characters, Jose and Pablo, who hold contrasting views. For each scenario, the respondent must answer whether only one view can be right or if both could be partially right, and if both could be partially right, whether one view could be more right than the other. The survey contains 15 such scenarios exploring views on topics like mathematics, the origin of the universe, music/art preferences, explanations for criminal behavior, and beliefs about God/the afterlife. At the end, the respondent is asked to reflect on the difficulty of the survey.

What did you think of the survey? Was it hard/easy to answer?


I would say that survey was redundant, but then again that question can be used in all these situations. It makes us think, but its not hard because everything asked places of focus more on perspective, on what one believes, but it is true that there are some elds where there can truly be only one answer.
