Loss aversionLoss Aversion TestDo losses sting more than equal wins please you? Find out how, and where.This quiz measures how loss aversion shows up for you, not just whether it does. Prospect theory says losses hurt roughly twice as much as equivalent gains feel good — but that pain reaches you through different doors: how an option is worded, how certain it feels, or whether you already own it.10 questions · 4 min System 1 and 2Reasoning Habits CheckPuzzles that reward a second look. How often do you check your first answer?This quiz checks how often you stop and test your first answer on short reasoning puzzles covering numbers, logic, chance, careful reading and estimating. It is not an IQ test and does not measure intelligence. It describes a habit, which can be changed.10 questions · 4 min System 1 and 2System 1 vs System 2 ThinkerDo you trust your gut or check your work? See which mode runs your decisions.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.10 questions · 4 min QuizPredictable Irrationality ProfileFive predictable ways our choices drift from logic. Which ones are yours?This quiz looks at five well-studied ways that choices drift from pure logic in predictable directions: relativity, the pull of free, mixing social and market rules, expectation and hot-state choices. Predictably irrational is not a flaw. It describes patterns that nearly everyone shows, and that can be anticipated and designed around.10 questions · 4 min Personal historyMoney Script OriginWhere does your relationship with money come from?This quiz looks at the unwritten beliefs about money you likely absorbed early in life, using the four money scripts from Klontz and colleagues (avoidance, worship, status, vigilance) plus a fifth, obligation, added by Mentotex. It asks where your own relationship with money may have come from. Family histories with money can be painful, so please go gently.10 questions · 4 min Sunk costSunk Cost TrapWould you walk away from what you've already paid for?This quiz measures how strongly money, time and effort you have already spent steer your next decision, and through which door: what you paid, what you put in, how deep you are in, the urge to finish, or the wish to stay consistent. The sunk cost fallacy is one of the best documented patterns in decision research.10 questions · 4 min AnchoringAnchoring Bias CheckHow much does the first number you see steer your choices?This quiz measures how much a number you meet first pulls your estimates and choices toward it, and through which door: facts you estimate, prices, opening offers, random numbers, or suggested amounts. Each question carries a hidden number, and the result tells you where it showed.10 questions · 4 min ScarcityScarcity Mindset ScoreHow does having too little money, time or energy change the way you think?This quiz looks at how a shortage of money, time or energy shapes your attention and choices, and through which door: tunneling on what is pressing, neglecting what is not, borrowing from later, a taxed mind, or a lack of slack. It describes how attention behaves under scarcity, not how well anyone is coping.10 questions · 4 min QuizWould You Blow a Lottery Win?If a huge sum landed in your account tomorrow, where would it leak?This quiz asks how you would behave if a large sum landed in your lap, and through which door it would most likely leak: splurging, giving too much, freezing, risking it, or upgrading your standard of living. It is a thought experiment about temperament, not a prediction, and it applies to any windfall.10 questions · 4 min
