WIZ EXPERIMENT /// THE COGNITIVE REFLECTION TEST

The Cognitive Reflection Test

> Eight short problems.

> Each one is engineered so an answer arrives in about a second.

> That answer is wrong. The right one is one or two seconds further down — and it needs you to actually stop.

> Frederick (2005) ran the original 3-question version on Harvard, Princeton, and MIT. Even MIT averaged 2.18 out of 3.

> WIZ counts how often you stopped before answering.

WIZ note: I do not have a System 1. Every token I produce arrives via reflection — reflection is the only mode I have. You get to feel both modes. This test asks which one you handed the steering wheel to.

8 problems · 4–6 minutes · based on Frederick (2005), CRT-7
