Am I Delusional Quiz
Questions: 15 · 10 minutes
1. An online post appears to support an important personal theory. How do you handle it?
Accept it as meaningful support because it closely matches what I already believe.
Check its source, context, and plausible alternative explanations.
Regard it as decisive proof even if the source cannot be verified.
Save it and compare it with information from reliable, independent sources.
2. Which statement best matches your situation right now?
I feel pressure to act on a belief or message, or I am struggling to care for basic needs.
I do not feel driven by these experiences and can continue my usual routine.
I may act in a way that harms me or someone else, or I cannot keep myself safe.
I feel distressed, but I can pause, avoid acting, and contact a supportive person if needed.
3. When you suspect that people are organizing against you, what usually supports that conclusion?
Specific, checkable evidence that I am willing to reassess if new facts appear.
A strong certainty that a network is targeting me, leading me to take protective action.
A feeling of suspicion that I try to confirm with a reliable person or source.
Patterns that feel convincing to me even when others offer reasonable alternatives.
4. In the past month, have ordinary broadcasts, songs, posts, or signs seemed to contain messages specifically meant for you?
Occasionally I wondered, but I could recognize coincidence or another explanation.
No; I have not experienced ordinary media or signs that way.
Often they seemed personally aimed at me, even when others saw them as general.
They felt like direct coded instructions that I needed to follow.
5. A prediction based on one of your beliefs does not happen. What are you most likely to do next?
Conclude that it happened secretly or was concealed, so the belief cannot be questioned.
Wait for more information before deciding whether the result matters.
Revise the prediction or reconsider the belief that produced it.
Change the interpretation of the prediction so the belief can remain unchanged.
6. A trusted person shows you credible evidence that conflicts with a belief you feel strongly about. What are you most likely to do?
Pause and compare their evidence with my own before deciding what fits best.
Hear them out, although I would probably keep my view until I had more information.
Mostly dismiss their evidence because my own interpretation feels more convincing.
Treat their disagreement as evidence that they are hiding something or involved.
7. Because of a belief, suspicion, or perceived message, have you taken an action that could put you or someone else in danger?
I changed a routine or sought reassurance, without approaching danger.
I considered or came close to an unsafe action but stopped before doing it.
I acted in a way that could have caused injury or serious harm, even once.
No; I have not approached or taken an unsafe action for this reason.
8. Have you felt that another person or outside force could access, insert, remove, or control your thoughts?
I have had a recurring sense of this that is difficult to dismiss.
I have not experienced that.
I am certain it is happening, and it affects how I behave or protect myself.
It has occurred as a fleeting possibility that I could set aside.
9. Several coincidences seem connected to something important in your life. What best describes your response?
I wonder about a connection and look for an independent way to check it.
I assume the connection is real without needing to test other explanations.
I first consider ordinary explanations such as chance, attention, or incomplete information.
I see doubts about the connection as further proof that it is real.
10. Which best describes any voices, signals, or communications that others could not verify?
I have not experienced unverified voices, signals, or communications.

11. You notice strangers nearby laughing or speaking quietly. Which response is closest to yours?
I am certain they are part of coordinated monitoring or a threat against me.
I briefly wonder if it concerns me, then move on without assuming that it does.
I generally assume they are occupied with their own conversation.
I often conclude they are discussing me, despite having little specific evidence.
12. Which statement best describes any recent sense of having a unique power, identity, or mission that others do not recognize?
I sometimes imagine the possibility without treating it as established fact.
I feel certain that I have such a role despite a lack of independent confirmation.
I have not had that experience outside ordinary goals or shared cultural beliefs.
The mission feels unquestionable and requires me to take unusual or potentially unsafe action.
13. During the past month, how often has a belief remained completely certain to you despite clear conflicting evidence?
