This concludes the presentation part of this study…now to the clarifications:

We don’t talk a lot about politics with my 12-year-old sister.
She is enrolled in public school, so surrounded by democrat policies.
I gave her the computer and told her to record her answers, and then typed them out. I was in the room, but we didn’t talk. She typed the Test Subject Notes out as well.

Common sense is so easy, even a 12-year-old seems to manage just fine.
