    The document describes a mindfulness test consisting of 20 statements about awareness of thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations. The respondent is asked to rate how often they experience each statement on a scale from never to very often. Their score of 59 out of 100 indicates a moderate tendency towards mindfulness. This reflects sometimes being accepting of thoughts and feelings while also occasionally being self-critical. It also means the respondent is not always able to focus their awareness on the present moment. Research suggests cultivating more self-compassion through loving-kindness meditation and mindfulness meditation to increase focus and reduce rumination.

    MODERATE 54-77

    Your mindfulness score is 59 out of 100, suggesting you have a moderate tendency to practice mindfulness.
    This score reflects two key components of mindfulness: your moment-to-moment awareness of your
    thoughts, feelings, and environment, as well as your acceptance of these aspects of your life. 

    Your score suggests you sometimes feel accepting and non-judgmental toward yourself, which means that
    you allow yourself to experience a range of thoughts and feelings, even if they’re upsetting or challenging at
    times. You don’t always believe there’s a “right” or “wrong” way to think or feel in a given moment.
    However, you still occasionally seem to be self-critical, which can make you feel defensive, anxious, or sad. 

    Also, you’re not always able to focus your awareness on the situation at hand; you’re sometimes
    preoccupied with the past or worried about the future. When you do maintain this focus, you may notice
    that you’re more open and inquisitive and can savor being in-the-moment. 

    Research suggests you can cultivate more acceptance by practicing loving-kindness meditations that
    encourage you to be more compassionate toward yourself. For more details, check out this meditation led
    by Jack Kornfield, which promotes forgiveness toward one’s self, and this article on self-compassion by
    Kristin Neff. In addition, you can increase your awareness through mindfulness meditations that help you
    both focus on your current state, such as by concentrating on your breathing, and reduce your tendency to
    ruminate.
