A check on separating a situation, a thought, a feeling, and a behavior before the story hardens.
About this test
Beck's cognitive model links a situation, an automatic thought, a feeling, and a behavior. A thought record and a behavioral experiment are ways of testing the thought instead of obeying it. These items score whether you caught the link or set a fair test. They teach the skill. They do not diagnose depression or anxiety, which have their own reflection tests on this site.

What this test asks
You think, "They believe I am incompetent," and you did not hear them say that. What is that thought in CBT terms?
Before a talk you think, "I will go blank and everyone will walk out." What kind of thought is that?
The sentence "I am a loser" shows up after one missed call. In the record, where does it belong?
You finished a hard piece and then thought, "It does not count." What is that move?
The line "I should never need help" drives you to stay stuck. What is that line in this lesson?
You feel guilty and conclude you must have done something terrible, though you cannot name an action. What is the mix-up?
Which write-up is a situation rather than a thought?
You rate sadness at 65 out of 100. What are you allowed to do with that number?
The thought is, "If I ask, I will be a burden." You stay silent. What link did you just catch?
A fairer line after "I always fail at this" should include which ingredient?
A mood dropped after a meeting, and you are steady enough to write. When is a thought record a good tool?
