Cognitive Flexibility Inventory (CFI)

The Cognitive Flexibility Inventory (CFI) is a 20-item self-report measure to monitor how often individuals engaged in cognitive behavioural thought challenging interventions (Dennis & Vander Wal, 2010). Cognitive flexibility enables individuals to think adaptively when encountering stressful life events, and is a core skill that helps individuals avoid becoming stuck in maladaptive patterns of thinking.
