Luck Meter Quiz

Five quick questions about small everyday habits — do you toss salt over your shoulder, knock on wood, avoid certain numbers — that add up to a playful "how superstitious are you" verdict. This is entertainment, not a psychological assessment: it's a light bit of self-reflection on your own habits, framed the same honest way as everything else on this site.

What the questions are actually getting at

Each question in the quiz is drawn from a genuinely common everyday habit covered elsewhere on this site — throwing spilled salt over your shoulder, knocking on wood after a boastful sentence, noticing a black cat crossing your path, and reacting to an approaching Friday the 13th. The point isn't to test whether you "believe" in any of it in some deep philosophical sense; it's to notice how many small, mostly automatic habits you've picked up along the way, which is exactly the kind of quiet, everyday superstition this whole site is interested in.

Four verdicts, and why they're deliberately not judgmental

The four possible results — Clear-Eyed Skeptic, Curious Fence-Sitter, Quiet Believer, and Full Folklore Devotee — are written as observations, not grades. There's no "best" score here: plenty of thoughtful, rational people still knock on wood without believing anything supernatural is actually happening, and that contradiction is itself one of the more interesting things about superstition, not something to resolve by scoring high or low.

If a result surprises you — say you scored higher than you expected — that's a genuinely useful prompt to notice a habit you'd stopped consciously registering, which is really the whole point of the exercise: a small, honest mirror held up to your own everyday behavior, dressed up as a fun quiz.
