System 1 vs System 2 Thinker

This quiz explores how much your thinking runs on fast, automatic judgment versus slow, deliberate effort, and through which door the fast mode takes over: snap judgments, ease, easier-question swaps, confidence in stories, or avoiding effort. System 1 and System 2 are a useful picture, not literal parts of the brain, and nobody thinks in one mode.
