The 3 Overthinking types

Five places a mind loops: the past, the future, a decision, a social moment, or nothing in particular. The types are levels of volume, and the facets say which subject your loop is made of — which decides the exit.

How the result is decided

Every answer feeds one overall score, and that score falls into one of 3 bands. The bands are levels of the same thing, not different kinds of person.

The Loopabout 45% of peopleA handful of thoughts get replayed on repeat, and you know the track by heart before you find the exit.

The Staticabout 30% of peopleYour mind rarely goes fully quiet, and most nights the volume isn't really yours to turn down.
