The Cognitive Mastery Quotient™ (CMQ™) is a self-assessment designed to measure how effectively you understand, regulate, and direct your own thinking. It reveals the patterns behind how your mind processes information, manages emotion, and transforms thought into action. Unlike personality or intelligence tests, the CMQ™ focuses on how you use your mind: your level of awareness, adaptability, and cognitive control. Developed from Dr. Cleverly’s applied work with Critical Thinkers and neuro-intense individuals, the CMQ™ provides a clear snapshot of where you are on the path from mental reactivity to cognitive mastery.
There are 10 sections with 5 questions each. Please answer honestly — there are no right or wrong answers. You will not be judged for your answers. Generally, people score themselves higher than truth. If you are undecided, lean towards the lower number.
