The Metacognition Test

Most of us spend a lot of time thinking — but far less time noticing how we think. Metacognition is the ability to observe your own mental processes: to catch a thought as it arises, to question whether a worry is actually useful, and to understand the patterns that drive your reactions. Research stretching from John Flavell's foundational cognitive science to Adrian Wells' clinical metacognitive therapy model consistently shows that metacognitive awareness is one of the strongest predictors of emotional resilience and psychological wellbeing. This test measures where you stand across four key dimensions of the trait. Once you know the strength of your metacognitive abilities, you can also take The Intuition Test and The Fluid Intelligence Test to discover other areas your mind excels in.
