How much a person reports thinking mostly about what is happening at the current time is measured in this scale using five, seven-point Likert-type items.

Using ten items, the scale attempts to measure a person's cognitive orientation to either focus on the whole more so than the parts (holistic thinking) or to devote more attention to the parts than to the whole (analytic thinking).
