CP-25: A Brief Multi‑Domain Assessment of Regulatory Stability
Version: 1.0 (Working Paper)
Date: May 15, 2026
Affiliation: Applied Coherence Institute (ACI)
DOI: Not yet assigned (Zenodo deposit planned)
Estimated completion time: 5–7 minutes
Overview
The CP-25 is a 25‑item self‑assessment designed to measure regulatory stability across five interconnected domains:
- Physiological
- Cognitive
- Behavioral
- Relational
- Environmental
Regulatory stability refers to the capacity of an individual to maintain adaptive functioning under stress, uncertainty, or changing conditions — to recover from disruption, sustain attention, align action with intention, preserve trust, and navigate environmental demands without fragmentation.
The CP-25 is not a diagnostic tool. It is a research‑grade self‑assessment intended for:
- Personal insight
- Organizational development
- Resilience screening
- Longitudinal tracking
- Intervention evaluation
The CP-25 is currently an emerging instrument and should not yet be interpreted against population norms. Formal validation and norming will follow as data accumulate.
You can take the CP-25 now. The full questionnaire and self-scoring instructions are below. No email or registration required.
Longitudinal Tracking Toolkit (Excel) – For those who wish to track regulatory stability over time, ACI offers a free Excel‑based toolkit and an online assessment tool. The toolkit includes a 25‑item assessment with auto‑calculating total score, a weekly tracker to record progress, and an interpretation guide. Download it to monitor your coherence across weeks or months.

What the CP-25 Measures (Quick Visual Summary)
| Domain | Core Capacity |
|---|---|
| Physiological | Recovery & energy regulation |
| Cognitive | Attention & mental clarity |
| Behavioral | Follow‑through & impulse regulation |
| Relational | Trust & conflict navigation |
| Environmental | Context stability & sensory load |
Each domain produces a score from 0–100. A composite coherence score (average of all five domains) is also reported.
The CP-25 Questionnaire
Instructions:
Rate each statement from 1 to 5 based on how you have felt over the past two weeks.
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strongly Disagree | Disagree | Neutral | Agree | Strongly Agree |
Respond based on your typical experience. First impressions are usually most accurate.
Disclaimer: The CP-25 is an educational and organizational development tool. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any medical or psychological condition.
Ethics Note: ACI supports transparent, non-coercive use of assessment data. The CP-25 should not be used as the sole basis for employment, disciplinary, or clinical decisions.

Scoring Instructions
Step 1: Domain Scores (0–100)
For each domain, use the formula:
Domain Score = ((Your Total Score for that Domain / 5) - 1) × 25
Example (Physiological, total = 20):
(20 ÷ 5) = 4 → (4 – 1) = 3 → 3 × 25 = 75
Your Scores:
| Domain | Total (sum of 5 items) | Divide by 5 | Subtract 1 | Multiply by 25 | Final Score (0–100) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Physiological | __ | ÷ 5 = __ | – 1 = __ | × 25 = | __ |
| Cognitive | __ | ÷ 5 = __ | – 1 = __ | × 25 = | __ |
| Behavioral | __ | ÷ 5 = __ | – 1 = __ | × 25 = | __ |
| Relational | __ | ÷ 5 = __ | – 1 = __ | × 25 = | __ |
| Environmental | __ | ÷ 5 = __ | – 1 = __ | × 25 = | __ |
Step 2: Composite Coherence Score (0–100)
Add your five domain scores, then divide by 5.
Composite Score = (Physiological + Cognitive + Behavioral + Relational + Environmental) ÷ 5
Your Composite Score: __
Scoring Interpretation (Preliminary)
| Score Range | Label | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 80–100 | Robust Coherence | Strong regulatory stability across domains. |
| 60–79 | Emerging Coherence | Generally stable with some variability. |
| 40–59 | Moderate Fragmentation | Noticeable instability in one or more domains. |
| 0–39 | Significant Fragmentation | High instability; consider targeted support. |
These ranges are provisional and will be refined as norming data accumulate. They are intended for educational and organizational development purposes, not clinical diagnosis.
What to Do with Your Results
| If You Scored | You Might Consider |
|---|---|
| 80–100 | Maintain current practices. Share your strategies with others. |
| 60–79 | Identify your lowest domain(s). Experiment with targeted practices. |
| 40–59 | Focus on one domain at a time. Seek support if needed. |
| 0–39 | Consider speaking with a coach, therapist, or trusted advisor. |
The CP-25 is a snapshot, not a verdict. Scores can change with intentional practice, environmental changes, and social support.
