The FFMQ looks at observing, describing, acting with awareness, non-judging of inner experience and non-reactivity to inner experience. The short 15-item version gives a quick overview.
Who it is for
Meditators, people interested in stress reduction and anyone wanting to see how mindful they are in daily life.
How to use your result
Your score is a snapshot of how you have been feeling or behaving recently. It is meant for self-reflection, education and research and is not a diagnosis or medical advice. Where a scale has no published norm entered on PsiQ, we do not invent one, so you will see raw scores rather than made-up percentiles.
