Cognitive Bias Labs 🧠

Welcome to the public repository for Cognitive Bias Labs — an interactive platform designed to help you discover, understand, and mitigate your cognitive blind spots through scientifically-backed psychology tests.

🌟 About This Repository

While the core diagnostic engine and interactive tests of Cognitive Bias Labs are closed-source, we believe in giving back to the psychology and developer communities. This repository serves three main purposes:

1. Open Source Dataset: We provide a structured JSON dataset (data/cognitive-biases.json) containing definitions, categories, and real-world examples of various cognitive biases.
2. Issue Tracking: A transparent place for users to report bugs or issues they encounter on the main platform.
3. Feature Requests: A hub for the community to suggest new cognitive bias tests, articles, or features.

📊 Open Source Dataset (/data)

We maintain a structured, open-source dataset of cognitive biases that developers, researchers, and AI builders can use in their own projects.

File: data/cognitive-biases.json

Example Structure:

{
  "id": "dunning-kruger-effect",
  "name": "Dunning-Kruger Effect",
  "category": "Self-assessment bias",
  "description": "A cognitive bias in which people with limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their abilities.",
  "example": "A novice chess player believing they could easily beat a grandmaster after learning the basic rules."
}

Feel free to use this data in your own applications under the MIT License.
