Before you can change a thought pattern, you need to identify it.
The CDS-7 Cognitive Distortion Scorecard is a structured self-assessment designed to help you measure the cognitive distortions most closely linked to anxiety. Based on established cognitive psychology research, it helps you uncover the thinking habits that shape how you interpret situations, predict outcomes, and respond to uncertainty.
Inside, you’ll complete 49 questions across seven common cognitive distortions and calculate your personal cognitive profile. The assessment helps you identify which distortions have the strongest influence on your anxiety and provides a framework for understanding your dominant cognitive style.
What you’ll discover:
- Your total cognitive distortion load
- Your dominant cognitive distortion
- Your primary cognitive profile
- Your key thinking vulnerabilities
- The interpretation patterns that may be amplifying anxiety
- Areas where cognitive reappraisal can have the greatest impact
Measures 7 cognitive distortions:
- Catastrophizing
- Mind Reading
- Negative Predictions
- Threat Bias
- Emotional Reasoning
- All-or-Nothing Thinking
- Personalization
Instead of guessing why anxiety keeps showing up, you’ll gain a clearer picture of the mental patterns operating behind the scenes. The result is greater self-awareness and a more targeted approach to changing how you interpret situations.
