Conspiracy theorists unaware their beliefs are on the fringe

The study indicates that belief in conspiracies may be less about a person’s needs and motivations and more about their failure to recognize that they might be wrong. Conspiracy believers not only consistently overestimated their performance on numeracy and perception tests, revealing they tend to be less a
