howdelusionalami.com is a collection of free quizzes and calculators that ask one question about dating, money, fitness, study and goals: how close is the story in your head to what is actually happening?
Why we built it
“Delulu” is a joke about hope, and most of us carry a little of it. Psychology has a lot to say about that, from optimism bias and the planning fallacy to the Dunning-Kruger effect. We wanted tools that are fun to use and share, with the research explained underneath so you leave knowing something new.
How our tools work
- Every calculator explains its maths on the page.
- Quizzes are written for self-reflection and are based on well-known findings. They are not clinical tests.
- Your answers stay in your browser. We do not store quiz or calculator inputs.
What we are not
We are not doctors, therapists or financial advisers. Nothing here is medical, psychological or financial advice. If you are worried about your mental health, please speak to a professional. Read our full disclaimer.
