Those of you who are familiar with research might be scratching your heads right now, because the words 'nonscientific research' seem oxymoronic. But historically, this oxymoron has actually been used more than the scientific research model. Scientific research is a logically stepped process used for investigating and acquiring or expanding our understanding. The findings of scientific research can be reproduced and demonstrated to be consistent.
Nonscientific research is acquiring knowledge and truths about the world using techniques that do not follow the scientific method. For instance, Plato was a large proponent of some of these, and Freud's theories use several of them as well. Let's look at several of the more oft-used nonscientific methods to see what pitfalls are out there.
