Looks really interesting! I've heard about some of these before and always wished they were collected in one place - nice! One note: you might want to consider changing the text/bg colors, it's slightly hard to read for some reason.

Thanks! I tried to go for this neon/glitchy style, but it might be too much. Will take it into consideration :)
Ah I see - then I guess it worked as expected: the style is quite literally glitchy 😝
website giving me ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID. After disabling, it shows a 404, "Oops, looks like the page is lost". so its not opening for me..
Maker
Does it work now? Maybe the host is having some downtime, I might need to switch..
unfortunately, no. it is not opening :(
Maker
Thanks for checking it out, let me check with my host. Does it work with http instead of https?
oh, it does work with http! Sorry I had https everywhere enabled.
Maker
Glad it worked :)
Nice stuff! Went through all of those. You have problems with the "camp counselor" section though: noticed wrong options in group A.
Maker
Fixed it, thanks!
sunk cost fallacy has spelling errors, please fix.
ANCHORING EFFECT - CAMP COUNSELORS question doesn't mention commitment.
Coool collection. I don't see any tests for white privilege. How am I to rid myself of this curse if I don't know what to test for. Every time i look in the mirror I keep getting a 406 Not Acceptable error. Please help. Also this site's legibility mad bleak, personal style/aesthetics should be a marginal afterthought of functional typographic concerns.
Maker
Sorry to hear that, that sucks. Where do you live? If I find such test I will add them in a next update.
Texas, but lately the internet. Depression seems inevitable. Thankfully its just an error in my brain so I'll get a patch soon.
Maker
It is probably not easy these times with all the political stuff and divide going on. I hope you consider reaching out for help if you feeling depressed.
THIS IS AMAZING I PUT IN EXACTLY GROUP A'S ANSWER for a question and I'm going crazy!!!
Maker
Haha, what are the chances :)

I love this, and I'm thinking about using it for my interns so they understand more of the psychology behind minutia in marketing tactics & copy. These are things that I've innately understood in observing behaviors, but never really put into words or bothered to research to confirm. Great work guys!

Pros:

Simple design to explain personal bias

Cons:

site's a little hard to read with bold fonts

i dont no
Love this! Though please update heading font-weights to 600, maybe? Hard to read.
Great project, awesome content. If I may, I’d vehemently recommend UX, content and style guidelines to be reviewed and implemented to universal standards. Assuming you want the project to be inclusive and accessible to everybody, the choices made are in great need of a change. As one example amidst many others, consider people with some level of visual impairment or dyslexia for a moment. Cool isn’t always friendly. #ux50cents
