IVS-15

How it works

You will answer 15 statements in 5 groups
Think about how often you experience each kind of inner speech
Rate on a scale from 1–5 how often each statement applies to you
There are no right or wrong answers – be honest with yourself

The IVS-15 is a self-assessment with its own items. Its structure follows the methodology of research questionnaires on inner speech (VISQ-R: Alderson-Day et al., 2018); the items are written in our own words and informed by published research methods. It is a self-assessment, not a psychometrically validated instrument, and does not diagnose anendophasia (absence of inner speech).

Self-assessment, not a diagnosis. Mind Atlas helps you reflect on how you experience your inner world. It does not replace medical or psychological advice. Read the disclaimer
