WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Psychological Flexibility Questionnaire, CompACT Test

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

cbt

psychological flexibility

tpo

Psychological flexibility is commonly assessed to clarify how a person responds to internal experiences and pursues meaningful behavior under stress. The Comprehensive Assessment of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Processes (CompACT) is a brief self-report measure grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) processes. It consists of 23 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete.

Item content is intended to sample domains such as openness to experience, present-moment awareness/behavioral awareness, and values-consistent action. Scores can be used to support case formulation, monitor change over time, and guide discussion of treatment targets; the Comprehensive Assessment of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Processes (CompACT) is not designed to serve as a stand-alone diagnostic instrument.
