Cognitive Distortions Test
Catch the nine thinking traps that quietly script your mood
About this assessment
An original, CBT-grounded self-reflection instrument based on the cognitive distortions described by Aaron Beck and David Burns. Instead of asking whether you "think negatively," it drops you into specific, recognizable moments — the unanswered text, the one critical comment in a sea of praise, the plan that falls through — and asks how your mind actually moves. It maps nine classic thinking traps: all-or-nothing thinking, overgeneralization, mental filtering, catastrophizing, mind reading, personalization, should-statements, emotional reasoning, and labeling. Built for self-awareness and psychoeducation; it is not a diagnosis or a substitute for therapy.
