What kind of player are you?
Whether or not we live in a simulation, life behaves like a game with rules. 8 honest questions show how you play it, and the first three moves to play it better. No sign-up.
Want the full plan? The full player's manual, with the seven rules, risk without ruin, levelling, people, attention and a 30-day plan, is in the We Are in a Simulation: How to Win in It playbook.
See We Are in a SimulationAre we actually living in a simulation?
Nobody knows. The simulation argument is a philosophical thought experiment: if advanced civilisations could run many realistic simulated worlds, simulated minds might outnumber real ones. It hasn't been proven or disproven, and this test doesn't claim either way.
What does 'player' vs 'NPC' mean here?
It's a game metaphor for agency. An 'NPC' lets defaults run their life; a 'player' chooses goals, takes risks they can survive and learns from feedback. Anyone can move from one to the other with small, deliberate habits.
Is this test scientific?
No. It's a quick self-reflection based on your habits around goals, risk, practice and attention, made to be fun and useful, not a psychological assessment.
