Evidence
Checking sources, samples and incentives before accepting a claim.
Brain & IQ / TEST 01
Can You Spot the Bullshit?
Twelve confident claims. One missing detail can flip every verdict.
Before you start
HOW THE TEST WORKS.
You are scrolling, shopping and getting sent screenshots. Every claim sounds confident enough to borrow your attention for five seconds. Twelve real-world traps ask you to spot the missing denominator, the weak comparison, the buried condition or the leap from “sounds plausible” to “therefore true.” No trivia. Just receipts.
An original entertainment test about evaluating claims and evidence. It is not a validated intelligence, media-literacy or psychological assessment.

QUESTIONS
A FEW SITUATIONS YOU'LL FACE
A preview of the kind of decisions used in this test. Your result is calculated from the full run, not from these examples alone.
- A creator says their sleep gummies are “clinically proven.” The only study shown tested 14 employees of the company that sells them. What matters most?
- A screenshot quotes a “Harvard scientist,” but gives no name, paper, date or full sentence. What is the best next move?
- A store advertises “UP TO 70% OFF.” One jacket dropped from $80 to $60. What discount does that jacket actually have?
THE VERDICT
WHERE YOUR ANSWERS CAN LAND
The result is not a universal label. It is the closest interpretation produced by this test version from the answers you give in this attempt.
THE HEADLINE GOT IN
Confidence did most of the talking. You let it finish the sentence.
SUSPICION, SOMETIMES
You smelled smoke. Then a few headlines convinced you it was probably fine.
THE RECEIPT CHECK
Your detector works. It just occasionally gets distracted by good typography.
SHOW ME THE SOURCE
You did not argue with the claim. You asked it for ID.
ANNOYINGLY HARD TO FOOL
The claim brought confidence. You brought follow-up questions.
