The Misinformation Susceptibility Test (MIST), created by researchers at the University of Cambridge, is a comprehensive assessment designed to evaluate an individual's susceptibility to misinformation. In just 2-5 minutes, participants can gauge their ability to discern between accurate and false information by responding to a series of questions and scenarios. The test covers various factors that may influence susceptibility to misinformation, including age, gender, education, political leaning, and country of residence. Participants have the option to share their responses anonymously or opt out of data collection entirely. To take this test, participants must be 18 years or older. There is an option to consent and participate in the study when taking the test, and an option where you do not have to participate. Make sure to read over the instruction carefully before continuing with the test.
