Overthinking Test

About Overthinking Test

The Overthinking Test measures the intensity, frequency, and impact of repetitive thought patterns in your life. Overthinking goes beyond careful analysis. It's the inability to stop replaying past events, catastrophizing future scenarios, or spiraling into decision paralysis. This test evaluates whether your thinking patterns are productive or whether they've crossed into rumination that drains your energy and blocks action. Research links chronic overthinking to increased anxiety, decision fatigue, insomnia, and reduced well-being. But the pattern is so normalized in modern culture that many overthinkers don't recognize how much mental bandwidth it consumes. This test gives you an honest assessment of your overthinking tendencies and their real cost.
