Guide: how to use Thumbnail Psychology Scorer

A thumbnail is processed in about 200 milliseconds, before the viewer reads a word. What happens in that window is psychology — curiosity, emotion, attention, cognitive load — not design. The Thumbnail Psychology Scorer evaluates a concept on six psychological factors, predicts the emotional response, rates how much mental effort the image demands, and gives edits to strengthen each factor.
