Comprehensive Assessment of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Processes (CompACT) Test

People who want to examine how their choices fit their values can use the Comprehensive Assessment of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Processes (CompACT) Test as a self-reflection tool. Viewed as a psychological flexibility assessment, it focuses on whether thoughts and feelings narrow behavior, whether attention stays with current activity, and whether meaningful action continues when discomfort appears. A result offers a profile of psychological flexibility rather than a single verdict.

What This Assessment Explores

These items cover values, attention, inner experience, and persistence; the CompACT questionnaire gives a snapshot, not a verdict.

• Values Congruence (0-48) shows value-consistent activity; higher scores indicate greater engagement in important, meaningful activity. Bands: Low alignment (0-16), Moderate alignment (17-32), High alignment (33-48).
• Behavioral Awareness (0-30) shows mindful attention to current actions; higher scores indicate awareness. Bands: Low mindfulness (0-10), Moderate mindfulness (11-20), High mindfulness (21-30).
• Openness to Experience (0-60) indicates willingness to experience thoughts, feelings, and sensations without control or avoidance; higher scores indicate greater openness. Bands: Low openness (0-20), Moderate openness (21-40), High openness (41-60).
• Psychological Flexibility (0-138) indicates greater openness, mindful behavior, and value-consistent action at higher scores. Bands: Lower flexibility (0-46), Moderate flexibility (47-92), Higher flexibility (93-138).

Methodology and Evidence Base

Responses use seven ordered agreement options whose endpoint wording varies across items, including Strongly disagree, Completely disagree, Strongly agree, and Completely agree. The statements cover values, present-moment attention, experiential avoidance, the influence of thoughts, and persistence when action is difficult. Because items point in different directions, interpretation depends on the pattern across items rather than a response.

The result reports the displayed scales within their corresponding bands; the answer labels and scale ranges do not establish the point contribution of an individual response. The method is conceptually consistent with CompACT (Francis et al., 2016), while Trindade et al. (2021) studied refinement and measurement invariance, and Giovannetti et al. (2022) examined cross-country adaptation. These studies concern the published CompACT instrument and related versions; they do not by themselves establish standardization for this online presentation.

Interpret the result as a self-report profile. Mood, circumstances, self-awareness, and response style can affect it. For reflection, this acceptance and commitment therapy assessment can guide reflection on whether behavior is led by values and willingness or narrowed by avoidance. One score cannot establish clinical status or explain the causes of behavior.
