This quiz is based on academic research on the domestic mental load, sometimes called cognitive household labor —the planning, remembering, organizing, and anticipating that keeps households running. You will see 21 questions in total, and at the end you will get your results (no email required).
The questions are designed primarily for parents and caregivers, because they include tasks related to childcare and children’s daily needs. If you do not have children, you are still welcome to participate—just select NA for any questions that don’t fit your household.
Your results are calculated using the same approach used in peer-reviewed sociological research, allowing you to compare your individual results to patterns observed among U.S. parents.
