The Overthinking Test

Replay, rehearse, research, repeat — how much of your thinking is analysis, and how much is a loop? A free 3-minute reading.

Overthinking isn't one thing — it's three: replaying the past, pre-living the future, and looping on decisions. This free 12-item test measures all three channels and tells you which one runs hottest.

About 3 minutes.
