What the IRB Quiz measures
This quiz does not administer CITI exams, approve human subjects protocols, or certify you to run unsupervised studies from bar height. It measures how much you agree with unofficial research ethics reflection grouped four ways: informed consent literacy about voluntary participation; risk and benefit awareness about minimization and debrief; fair selection and justice about equitable recruitment; and quiz-not-IRB-authority limits about humble captions. You rate 22 statements from strongly disagree to strongly agree, with reverse-worded traps so one cram mood cannot inflate every bar. Your answers also feed a second chart on closeness and trust habits.
Informed consent literacy
Voluntary not cosplay.
Risk and benefit awareness
Minimize not shrug.
Fair selection and justice
Fair not convenient.
Quiz not IRB authority
Mirror not approval.
How it works
Answer 22 agreement items
Rate each statement from Strongly disagree to Strongly agree. Tap Next after each answer.
Answers sort into four domains
Each answer feeds one of four research ethics groups, and every item also feeds a closeness and trust layer.
See your index and charts
You get a 0 to 100 index, a band, four domain bars, and a second chart for intimacy habits.
Take the IRB Quiz
Answer 22 short statements to see your research ethics literacy index, four domain bars, and a closeness and trust chart.
What your result means
Your index is the average of all 22 answers, scaled from 0 to 100, with reverse-worded items flipped first. Read unofficial limit bars together with risk awareness before you treat a high score as IRB authority. Compliance officers and faculty still own formal decisions when stakes are real.
| Band | Index range | Typical reading |
|---|---|---|
| Building research ethics literacy | 0 to 35 | Fewer agreed habits on consent literacy, risk awareness, fair selection or unofficial limit items. |
| Mixed research ethics habits | 36 to 65 | Solid habits in some domains with softer bars on limits or humility items. |
| Strong research ethics literacy | 66 to 100 | Frequent agreement with habits and limits; still unofficial reflection only. |

What this quiz can and cannot tell you
Can tell you
- Highlight consent, risk, and justice study habits worth revisiting before methods debates
- Separate ethics literacy from CITI cosplay and IRB approval myths
- Encourage mentor questions without classmate dunk spirals
- Spark better learning goals without claiming compliance authority
Cannot tell you
- Prove CITI completion or IRB protocol approval from couch scores
- Replace campus IRB offices, compliance staff, or attorneys
- License public classmate ethics dunk or verdict threads
- Authorize unsupervised human subjects research from agree totals
Why methods memes need consent literacy, risk awareness, justice habits, and IRB limits
Search traffic around IRB quizzes often arrives from research methods classes and CITI completion anxiety, not from compliance offices offering couch diplomas. Those goals help when readers name consent literacy, risk humility, and quiz-not-chair caps together. They hurt when couch scores become classmate dunk licenses.
Dr. James Whitfield reviews study ethics screeners with a split between honest learning and refusal of IRB cosplay. Consent items track voluntary participation language. Risk items track minimization without shrug myths. Justice items track fair selection without convenience-sample cruelty.
Real students mix bars. You might score high on consent literacy while fair selection stays moderate early in coursework. Reverse items catch ethics trial threads, chair cosplay, and bar-height CITI proof.
Pair results with siblings instead of forcing one methods story. Our Belmont report quiz explores respect, beneficence, and justice recall with separate stems. Our intro to psychology quiz widens psych study literacy rather than IRB protocol caps here. Our intellectual risk assessment scale SRIS stays on research-risk reflection language with distinct items. Browse the IQ and cognitive hub for more screeners.

IRB Quiz FAQ
What does the IRB Quiz measure?
It measures self-reported research ethics study habits across informed consent literacy, risk awareness, fair selection, and unofficial IRB-limit items, plus a parallel fear-of-intimacy stack chart.
Does this quiz certify CITI training or approve my study?
No. Limit items reject certification cosplay. Formal training and protocol approval require campus systems outside this page.
Is this legal advice for human subjects research?
No. Consult IRB staff and attorneys when compliance questions affect real participants. This page stays unofficial study reflection.
Can high bars prove I should skip formal IRB review?
No. Bars describe ethics habits you endorsed here, not compliance authority or licenses to dunk classmates.
Who reviewed this quiz?
Dr. James Whitfield reviewed the framing, limit language, and result explanations. See our editorial policy for review standards.
