What is the Overthinking Score — Rumination Self-Check?
Seven quick questions ask how often you replay conversations, get stuck comparing decisions, or dwell on small mistakes — simplified from real concepts used in psychological rumination research, such as the Ruminative Responses Scale, scaled down to a fast, shareable format.
Your raw score is mapped to a percentile using a stated normal-distribution model calibrated to typical self-report rumination-scale score distributions (which tend to cluster near the middle with a real tail of high scorers), and shown with a funny tiered label.
