Mental Rumination Test
Assess your tendency to dwell on and ruminate over thoughts
About this test
Mental rumination involves replaying the same thoughts over and over, often negative ones, without reaching a resolution. This test explores four key dimensions: dwelling on the past, negative anticipation of the future, excessive self-criticism, and negative thought spirals. Identifying your rumination patterns is the first step toward breaking these repetitive cycles and regaining greater mental freedom.
Dimensions assessed
- ●Dwelling on the past- Tendency to repetitively think about past events, mistakes, or regrets.
- ●Negative anticipation- Tendency to imagine worst-case future scenarios and mentally prepare for the worst.
- ●Self-criticism- Tendency to judge oneself harshly, devalue oneself, and constantly question oneself.
- ●Negative spiral- Chain of negative thoughts that feed on each other and become uncontrollable.
