Basically, a test to see if someone only knows conformist ideas or if they're capable of seeing alternative perspectives?

There's no foolproof test, but something that comes to mind is asking a very general question, and see if they give an absolute answer. Something like, 'do you believe in Science?' or 'how do you feel about conspiracy theorists?'
If they 'believe in Science,' they're a normie, because that's now how science works. If they hate conspiracy theorists, normie. But, again, not foolproof, because plenty of people who go against the narrative still can't think outside their box, either.
So, I suppose it's easier to test people to determine that they can't think outside the box, as opposed to that they can.
I think a better question would be to ask them if they think science is always correct.
Every scientist will tell you 'no'. Any indoctrinated drone will tell you yes.
