Resumo
Objective: Cognitive failures are simple mistakes in routine activities, such as forgetting commitments
and experiencing difficulty concentrating. The Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ) was designed
to assess the frequency of these errors in everyday life. Although widely used in psychiatry and psychology,
both in clinical and research settings, it has not been adapted for use in Brazil. Our objective was to perform
cross-cultural adaptation of the CFQ for the Brazilian reality and assess its validity and reliability.
Methods: The original version of the CFQ was translated into Brazilian Portuguese by two indepen dent researchers, analyzed by a multidisciplinary board of experts, and back-translated into English.
The final version was administered to 225 adults. Validity was assessed by correlation with the Self
Reporting Questionnaire-20 (SRQ-20) and the Adult Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Self Report Scale (ASRS-18). Reliability was analyzed by calculating internal consistency and test-retest
stability.
Results: The adapted version of the CFQ showed significant correlations with SRQ-20 (r = -0.311),
ASRS-18 inattention (r = 0.696), and hyperactivity/impulsivity (r = 0.405) scores. Reliability analysis
suggests high internal consistency (0.906) and temporal stability (0.813).
Conclusion: The Brazilian Portuguese version of the CFQ showed moderate correlations with other
measures of mental health, as well as adequate reliability.
