Mindfulness Assessment
NOESIS adaptation of the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire — Short Form (Baer et al., 2006; Tran et al., 2013)
~4 min · 15 questions · Free partial report
A 15-item assessment measuring five facets of mindfulness: observing, describing, acting with awareness, non-judging, and non-reactivity. Based on Baer et al. (2006).
Mindfulness is a skill with five parts — and you are probably stronger in some than others. Find out which.
- Understand your mindfulness profile — how well you observe your experience, describe it, act with awareness, avoid judgment, and maintain non-reactivity.
No signup required to start. The Partial Report is free at the end. The Complete costs $9.90, if and when you want it.
What this test measures
O
Observing
Noticing internal and external experiences — sensations, thoughts, sounds, smells — as they occur, moment by moment.
D
Describing
Putting inner experiences into words — finding language for feelings, sensations, and thoughts with ease.
A
Acting with Awareness
Attending fully to the present activity rather than operating on automatic pilot with your mind elsewhere.
N
Non-Judging
Taking a non-evaluative stance toward your own thoughts and feelings — noticing them without labeling them as wrong or criticizing yourself for having them.
N
Non-Reactivity
Letting thoughts and feelings come and go without being carried away by them — observing the storm without stepping into it.

Why trust this instrument.
Based on the five-facet model of mindfulness (Baer et al., 2006), this assessment uses 15 independently developed items — three per facet — to measure Observing, Describing, Acting with Awareness, Non-Judging, and Non-Reactivity (α = 0.69-0.83). The items were written by NOESIS to represent the published constructs; this is not the original FFMQ.

Cronbach's alpha. Values above .70 are acceptable; above .80, good.
The reliability, norms, and cutoffs shown are those of the original instrument (Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire — Short Form (Baer et al., 2006; Tran et al., 2013)).
This NOESIS adaptation has not yet been independently validated.
Percentiles and T-scores shown are provisional, based on synthetic reference data until real norms accumulate.

The theory behind this test.
Five-Facet Model of Mindfulness
Model defining mindfulness as a multi-faceted construct comprising observing (noticing internal and external stimuli), describing (labeling experiences with words), acting with awareness (attending to current activity), non-judging (accepting experiences without evaluation), and non-reactivity (allowing thoughts/feelings to come and go without reacting).

Adults (18+) interested in understanding or developing their mindfulness
Recommended ages: 18+
Questions the report answers.
How much do you notice your inner and outer experience?
Higher scores indicate attentiveness to sensations, sights, and sounds.
Can you let feelings pass without reacting?
Higher scores indicate the ability to observe emotions without being swept away.
Who benefits most.
Meditation practitioners
People who meditate and want to track their mindfulness development.
Mindfulness beginners
Individuals curious about where they stand on different mindfulness dimensions.
Meditators tracking progress
Practitioners who want to see which facets their practice is actually building — and which ones stay flat no matter how much they sit.
Frequently asked questions
What does this assessment measure?
It measures five facets of mindfulness: Observing (noticing sensations), Describing (labeling experiences), Acting with Awareness (present-moment attention), Non-Judging (accepting experiences), and Non-Reactivity (letting feelings pass).
How does this relate to the FFMQ?
This assessment measures the same five mindfulness facets defined by Baer et al. (2006). All items are independently developed by NOESIS.
Is this test scientifically validated?
It is built on the five-facet model of mindfulness (Baer et al., 2006), the dominant framework for measuring mindfulness as a skill. The items are a NOESIS adaptation (α = 0.69-0.83) — independently written and not independently validated — so treat results as structured self-reflection.
What do high and low scores mean?
Each facet is scored separately because they grow separately: meditators often score high on observing first, while non-judging and non-reactivity tend to develop last — and matter most for well-being. Your lowest facet is usually the most useful place to point your practice.
