Question 16 of 21
16. Question
1 pointsOnly people who are young or exceptionally vulnerable that seek more meaning in their lives are susceptible to being brainwashed.
Correct
Under the right circumstances, any person of any age can be brainwashed. Although not every person is an exceptionally vulnerable person, every person has a vulnerability.

Question 17 of 21
17. Question
1 pointsSuccessful brainwashing can refashion a person’s identity and personality.
Correct
Unfortunately this is true. The scariest part of this radical personality change is the devoutness with which victims insist to have free will and have chosen their own destiny – oblivious to the fact that their thoughts have been psychologically engineered.

Question 18 of 21
18. Question
1 pointsBrainwashing often occurs in steps so small that the victim cannot even recognize what is happening.
Correct
Think of the frog who boils to death in a pot of water because he doesn’t realize the temperature is increasing one degree at a time. Likewise, the brain also has a threshold of change required for alarms to go off. Small manipulations or abuses, such as a snide remark or angry body language, do not individually set off the alarm bells even though they may be part of a plan to humiliate, manipulate and dominate another person.

Question 19 of 21
19. Question
1 pointsBrainwashed people choose to ignore red flags.
Correct
Victims of brainwashing have learned to associate fear and pain with red flags; when they see a red flag they have been conditioned to shut their thinking down rather than examine it. Conditioning is artificial. It is not a choice. After a certain amount of conditioning, victims do not choose to ignore the truth. Their brains will not allow them to see the red flags at all.

Question 20 of 21
20. Question
1 pointsA person who is brainwashed still has the free will to act as he wishes to act, even if it goes against the wishes of his manipulator.
Correct
The thought-processes of a brainwashed person have been retrained and re-engineered to meet the needs of the manipulator. A brainwashed person who faces consequences for making a choice contrary to the wishes of her manipulator is being coerced. Coercion is not consent. The brainwashed person really only has one real choice, and free will does not exist.

Question 21 of 21
21. Question
1 pointsBrainwashing is the ideal way to enslave a person.
Correct
The brainwashing victim makes the perfect slave. She will argue that she has freely chosen her path, she truly believes it is right, she wants to be where she is, and she is acting on her own free will. Historically, both law enforcement and the general public tend to overlook the exploitation of a human being if there is an appearance of a true believer or willing victim.
Examples include the exploited women of polygamy and the prostituted women under the control of a pimp. However, things are starting to change.
