WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Degree of Metacognitive Processes Expression Test

Metacognitive Processes Intensity Scale Test

This self-report measure assesses the intensity of metacognitive processes involved in monitoring, evaluating, and regulating one’s thinking and information processing. The Metacognitive Processes Intensity Scale provides a brief profile of perceived metacognitive activity across multiple domains relevant to cognitive self-regulation (Wells).

It contains 31 items and typically takes about 6 minutes to complete. Results are intended to support descriptive assessment of individual differences in metacognitive processing intensity; the Metacognitive Processes Intensity Scale may be used in clinical, coaching, or research contexts as an adjunct to broader evaluation, with interpretation guided by the respondent’s context and other assessment data.
