🕰️ Chronotype Test

What chronotype means: Chronotype describes where your natural daily timing falls on the morningness–eveningness continuum — including when you prefer to sleep, wake, think, exercise, and wind down.

How to answer: Questions 1–15 ask about your natural preference. Imagine several normal nights of sleep and a day with no alarm, appointment, school, work shift, or family obligation. Questions 16–19 ask about your real schedule. If you do not have work or school days, use days with a fixed morning obligation; if your schedule is the same every day, choose the same times in both sections.

How this test was designed: Established chronotype tools use two major approaches. Morningness–eveningness questionnaires assess preferred timing and alertness, while sleep-timing questionnaires compare actual sleep on obligation days and free days. This Cognitive Train test uses original wording informed by both approaches; it does not reproduce either instrument.

Scoring, fully transparent:

• The first 15 answers receive 0–4 points, from the most morning-oriented to the most evening-oriented option
• Those preference answers produce a raw score from 0–60, converted to a 0–100 continuum
• Categories: 0–18 Strong Morning, 19–36 Morning-Leaning, 37–63 Intermediate, 64–81 Evening-Leaning, and 82–100 Strong Evening
• The final four answers do not change that score. They estimate the midpoint of sleep on obligation days and free days, then show the difference between them
• Because the schedule questions use time ranges rather than exact clock entries, the sleep-timing profile is approximate

Research background: The classic MEQ assesses preferred daily timing, while the MCTQ estimates chronotype from sleep timing on work and free days. See the review of chronotype measures and the MCTQ validation study in Korean older adults.
