Test Your Rationality

As a decision scholar, I’m a firm believer in the benefits of specialization. If someone is really good at doing something, then it’s often better to rely on them in that issue, and focus efforts towards where you’re personally the most beneficial to others and society at large. Of course, this principle has to apply over all agents – including myself. With that in mind, I’m going to make a feature post about something a certain someone else does – and does it much better than me.

Enter Spencer Greenberg. I’ve talked to Spencer over email a couple of times, and he’s really a great and enthusiastic guy. But that’s not the point. The point is that he does a great service to the community by producing awesome tests, which you can use to educate yourself, your partner or anyone you come across about good decision making. What’s even better is that the tests are done with the right kind of mindset: they’re well backed up by actual, hard science. What this means is that the questions make sense – there’s none of that newspaper-clickbait “find your totem animal” kind of stuff. There’s proper, science-backed measuring. Even better, the tests have been written in a way anyone can understand. You don’t need to be a book-loving nerdy scholar to gain some insights!
​
Now, I’ve always wanted to bring something to the world community. And a while ago, I thought maybe I could produce some online tests about decision making. But after seeing these tests, I’ll just tip my hat and say that it’s been done way better than I ever could have! Congrats!
And now, enough of the babbling: go here to test yourself! (For comparison, a reflection of my results can be seen in next week’s post :)
