From 1 - Strongly Disagree to 7 - Strongly Agree
<blockquote>
  - The mind is equivalent to the brain.*
  - It is impossible for science to ever have a complete understanding of the mind. 
  - One’s thoughts, personality, preferences, and choices are all just a product of brain functions.*
  - Whether one is a good or bad person can be completely altered by changes in the brain.* 
  - Aspects of mind that science cannot explain are best explained by the soul.
  - People have a non-physical soul (or spirit) that animates the physical body. 
  - A person's soul persists after one dies. 
  - Free will is an illusion produced by the brain.*  
  - The mind interacts with the brain, but is separate from brain. 
  - In the future, it may be possible to know someone's personality by looking at their 
  - brain activity.*
  - The true self is not governed by the brain, but by a person's soul. 
  - The mind is a non-physical property
  - In the future, it may be possible to know exactly what another person is thinking by looking at their brain activity.* 
  - I believe the mind and soul are the same thing.
