Frequently Asked Questions

Any questions left?

What does this questionnaire measure?

It measures attention to everyday bodily signals, such as natural rhythms and subtle physical changes. It also assesses how well bodily reactions can be anticipated based on prior patterns.

What types of sensations are covered?

Items address routine processes such as breathing, heartbeat, digestion, temperature, and minor discomfort. The focus is on neutral observation of normal bodily states.

How long does it take to complete and how many items are included?

Completion typically takes about 4 minutes. The questionnaire contains 18 items.

How should responses be selected?

Select the option that best matches typical experience rather than a single recent day. Respond based on usual patterns in everyday settings.

How should scores be interpreted?

Higher scores generally indicate greater attention to bodily cues and rhythms, while lower scores indicate less attention or awareness. Scores describe a tendency and do not diagnose a medical or mental health condition.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ) Test

cbt awareness

This self-report measure is used to characterize everyday attention to internal bodily sensations and routine physiological changes. The Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ) assesses perceived sensitivity to normal bodily processes (e.g., rhythms, minor fluctuations, and anticipatory awareness of bodily responses) in a nonpathologizing manner.

Developed by Barbara A. Bunde, it consists of 18 items and typically requires about 4 minutes to complete. The Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ) may be used in clinical and research settings to support assessment of interoceptive attention and to inform case conceptualization and treatment planning where monitoring of bodily cues is clinically relevant.
