Consecutive Action Questionnaire (CAQ-8) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This measure assesses an individual’s tendency to persist with goal-directed behavior despite discomfort or obstacles. The Consecutive Action Questionnaire (CAQ-8) is intended as a brief self-report index of consistent follow-through and sustained action aligned with personal goals.
It includes 8 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. Respondents rate the extent to which they maintain commitments, carry out necessary steps, and continue acting effectively when faced with distraction, frustration, or other barriers.
Scores from the Consecutive Action Questionnaire (CAQ-8) may be used to support clinical case formulation and to monitor change over time in contexts emphasizing behavioral consistency and persistence. The original measure is attributed to McCracken, L. (2014).
