About the AI Reflection Load
Self-check details
What it checks
The MentalCraft AI Reflection Load Self-Check is an experimental scale about what happens after repeated AI conversations. It looks at reassurance seeking, over-analysis, emotional intensity, privacy boundaries, and whether AI helps you choose a next step.
This scale is useful because many people now use AI to think through feelings, decisions, relationships, work conflict, and health worries. The goal is not to shame AI use; it is to notice when reflection becomes a loop.
This is not a diagnostic instrument. It is an educational self-reflection tool for noticing AI-supported reflection and overload.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does reflection load mean?
Reflection load is the extra mental or emotional weight that can appear when AI conversations become repetitive, confusing, reassurance-seeking, or hard to stop.
Is high AI reflection load an addiction diagnosis?
No. This test does not diagnose addiction or dependence. It only helps you notice patterns that may deserve boundaries or human support.
Can AI conversations be helpful?
Yes. AI can help name feelings, organize thoughts, and prepare questions. The key question is whether it helps you move toward a grounded next step.
