Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ) Test - Symptoms and Signs
The Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ) is a brief self-report measure used to assess the frequency of everyday cognitive lapses. It focuses on common errors in attention, memory, and action in routine situations.
The instrument includes 25 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. Respondents rate how often they experience minor cognitive failures (e.g., forgetting where an object was placed, losing track of a conversation, or making inadvertent slips in coordination), yielding a summary of perceived cognitive functioning in daily life.
The Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ) is used in clinical and research settings to characterize subjective cognitive difficulties and to support discussion of contextual factors that may affect performance, such as stress, fatigue, or distraction. Results should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical history and other assessment data rather than as a stand-alone indicator of impairment.
