Purpose & Measurement Objectives

39-item full-length scale measuring five facets of mindfulness: observing, describing, acting with awareness, non-judging of inner experience, and non-reactivity to inner experience. A 15-item short form (FFMQ15) is already on the platform separately. Based on your answers to its 39 items, you'll get a breakdown across its 5 component areas as well as an overall picture, showing where the pattern is strongest for you. Taking it gives you a clearer picture of a coping pattern or tendency you may only have sensed vaguely before.
