How much do you really know about yourself?

Reviewed for clinical accuracy by Jourdan Travers, LCSW

The Self-Awareness Outcomes Questionnaire (SAOQ) is a psychometric tool designed to evaluate the tangible benefits of self-awareness in your daily life. Unlike simple introspection, this scale measures the outcomes of being self-aware, such as improved relationships, emotional regulation, and personal growth. Developed by Anna Sutton in 2016, it assesses how well you understand your internal states and how that understanding translates into positive behavior. If you are interested in exploring more about your internal landscape, you might also like the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale or the Emotional Quotient Inventory.
