The Misguided Toolkit

Free tools for
thinking clearer.

What we believe is shaped by who we are and who we surround ourselves with. These free, research-backed tools help you navigate misinformation, understand your own biases, and protect your attention online, so you can engage with information more intentionally. Grounded in the research behind Misguided.

Understand yourself

Your identities and networks shape what you believe more than you might realize. These tools make those influences visible.

Identity Map

Visualize the social identities you hold, and recognize how they can influence what you believe and how you interpret information.

Our identities act as lenses. Seeing them clearly is the first step to thinking more independently.

Network Diversity Audit

Assess how diverse your close network really is, and understand how the people around you shape the information that reaches you.

A homogeneous network is an invisible bias. This tool helps you see it.

Protect your attention

Knowing what to ignore is as important as knowing what to engage with. These tools help you make that call in the moment.

Critical Ignoring Companion

Two tools in one: decide whether an online comment deserves a reply or is an attention trap, and fact-check a claim using lateral reading before you engage with it.

Knowing what to ignore is a skill. This tool helps you build it.
