WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Work Acceptance and Action Questionnaire, WAAQ Test

Work-Related Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (WAAQ) Test

flexibility cbt tpo

Psychological flexibility is commonly viewed as a key process in how individuals manage work demands and stress. The Work-Related Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (WAAQ) is a brief self-report measure designed to assess acceptance- and values-consistent action in occupational contexts, informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles. It consists of 7 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete.

Scores from the Work-Related Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (WAAQ) can help characterize the extent to which internal experiences (e.g., difficult thoughts or emotions) interfere with effective behavior at work versus being managed in a way that supports task engagement and adaptability. This instrument is attributed to psytests.org (2024) and is generally interpreted as a screening-level indicator rather than a standalone basis for clinical or personnel decisions.
