The Cognitive Reflection Test

The Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT) is a brief assessment that measures how well people can override their initial, instinctive answers to think more carefully and arrive at the correct solution. It presents questions that have an automatic, intuitive answer, which is often wrong, and requires deliberate thinking to find the accurate answer. The test helps reveal how quickly and effectively a person can switch from gut reactions to reflective reasoning, shedding light on their problem-solving style and decision-making processes.
