Mindfulness Test

The Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) is a scientifically validated questionnaire designed to measure mindfulness in daily life. It consists of 15 statements assessing how frequently individuals engage in automatic, inattentive behaviors. A higher score indicates greater mindfulness and presence in daily activities. While this test offers insight into mindfulness levels, it is not a diagnostic tool.
