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

Comprehensive Metacognitive Potential Questionnaire Test

metacognition

This self-report measure is designed to assess metacognitive functioning, including how individuals monitor and regulate their thinking, attention, and cognitive strategies. The Comprehensive Metacognitive Potential Questionnaire provides a structured profile of perceived metacognitive strengths and areas for further support.

Attributed to Adrian F. Wells, it consists of 80 items and typically requires about 15 minutes to complete. The Comprehensive Metacognitive Potential Questionnaire may be used in clinical, counseling, or research contexts to characterize metacognitive capacities relevant to information processing and decision-making, and to inform case formulation or intervention planning when metacognitive regulation is a focus.
