CroatiaThe article discusses the Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT), developed by psychologist Shane Frederick from Yale University in 2005. This short test consists of three questions designed to measure an individual's ability to resist intuitive responses and engage in deliberate, analytical thinking rather than relying on instinct. The CRT does not directly measure intelligence but assesses cognitive reflection—the capacity to pause, think critically, and override initial impulses. The test has become widely known, with many people, including students from prestigious universities like Harvard, MIT, and Carnegie Mellon, often failing it despite high IQs. Research indicates that around 83% of people make at least one mistake on the test, highlighting the strong human tendency to rely on mental shortcuts.
