WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Comprehensive Metacognitive Potential Questionnaire, COMP-U Test

Comprehensive Metacognitive Potential Questionnaire Test

metacognition

This instrument is designed to evaluate how an individual monitors and regulates their own thinking processes. The Comprehensive Metacognitive Potential Questionnaire provides a structured self-report approach to assessing metacognitive regulation and related capacities in a standardized format. Originally described by Adrian F. Wells.

The measure consists of 80 items and typically requires about 15 minutes to complete. Results are intended to support a profile of metacognitive strengths and vulnerabilities that may inform clinical formulation, psychoeducation, and treatment planning; the Comprehensive Metacognitive Potential Questionnaire is not a stand-alone diagnostic tool and should be interpreted in the context of other assessment data and the presenting concern.
