How the Scales are Structured

example score
15/20
Bias & Emotion Reactivity (B&ER)
Measures how strongly emotions and confirmation bias influence your evaluation of claims and headlines.
Reflective & Balanced
Mixed Reactivity
Bias/Emotion-Driven
0 – 6: Reflective & Balanced | 7 – 13: Mixed Reactivity | 14 – 20: Bias/Emotion-Driven
A score of 15 suggests your judgments are often shaped by emotional reactions or belief-consistent cues, making persuasive but unreliable claims more likely to feel credible at first glance.
example score
18/40
Susceptibility Score (SS)
Measures your overall tendency to be influenced by misleading or distorted information rather than critically evaluating it.
Low susceptibility
Moderate susceptibility
High susceptibility
0 – 13: Low susceptibility | 14 – 26: Moderate susceptibility | 27 – 40: High susceptibility
A score of 18 falls in the Moderate susceptibility range, suggesting you sometimes accept or share questionable claims without full verification, especially when they seem plausible or emotionally compelling.
example score
11/20
Verification Habits (VH)
This scale measures how consistently you verify sources, seek corroboration, and check key details before believing or sharing information.
Infrequent verification
Sometimes verifies
Consistent verification
0 – 7: Infrequent verification | 8 – 14: Sometimes verifies | 15 – 20: Consistent verification
A score of 11 suggests you verify information in some situations, but your fact-checking may be inconsistent or depend on how compelling the content feels.

About This Assessment

Misinformation Susceptibility Test - Symptoms and Signs

How easy is it for misleading headlines, edited images, or confident-sounding claims to sway you?
