Über diesen Test
Seven famous trick questions where the obvious answer is wrong and the right answer needs you to pause. This isn't about being smart — it's about whether you stop and check before you click. Most people fail at least three. Playful, not punitive.
Methode
Items 1–3 are the original Cognitive Reflection Test (Frederick, 2005). Items 4–7 are from the CRT-2 (Thomson & Oppenheimer, 2016), designed to reduce familiarity effects. Scoring is objective: 1 point per correct answer, percent-correct mapped to four bands (<30%, 30–59%, 60–85%, >85%). References: Frederick, S. (2005). Cognitive reflection and decision making. Journal of Economic Perspectives, 19(4), 25–42. Thomson, K. S., & Oppenheimer, D. M. (2016). Investigating an alternate form of the cognitive reflection test. Judgment and Decision Making, 11(1), 99–113.

- The obvious answer felt too easy and now you know why.
- Hyper-Reflective Thinker · Trap-detector mode
- You read every sentence twice on purpose. We see you.

Häufige Fragen + Hinweis
Is this an IQ test?
No. The Cognitive Reflection Test measures a specific habit — pausing to override an intuitive but wrong first answer. It correlates loosely with some reasoning measures, but it is not an intelligence test.
How long does it take?
Around three minutes. Seven short multiple-choice items.
I got fewer than I expected — should I worry?
No. The original Frederick (2005) study found that the average among university students was around 1.24 of 3 on the classic CRT. The items are engineered to fool fast thinking.
