A questionnaire measure of self-reported failures in perception, memory and motor function is described. Responses to all questions are positively correlation and the whole questionnaire correlates with other recent measures of self-reported deficit in memory, absent-mindedness or slips of action. The questionnaire is only weakly correlated with indices of social desirability set or of neuroticism. It is significantly correlated with ratings of the respondent by his or her spouse and accordingly has some external significance rather than purely private opinion of the self. The score is reasonably stable over long periods to about the same extent as traditional measures of trait rather than state. It has not changed in persons exposed to life-stresses. It does frequently correlate with the number of current psychiatric symptoms reported by the same person on the MHQ [Middlesex Hospital Questionnaire]. In 1 study Cognitive Failures Questionnaire predicted subsequent MHQ results in persons who work at a stressful job in the interval. It does not do so in those who work in a less stressful environment. Cognitive failure evidently makes a person vulnerable to showing bad effects of stress, rather than itself resulting from stress.
