Horne and Östberg chronotype assessment test
This questionnaire, called the Matinality-Evening Questionnaire (MEQ), was developed by Horne and Östberg in 1976. Its aim is to assess a person's chronotype, i.e. their natural preference for periods of activity and rest within a 24-hour day.

A chronotype is often described as either morning (or "lark") or evening (or "owl"). Larks" tend to wake up early and be more alert in the early part of the day, while "owls" tend to go to bed late and be more alert in the evening and night. There are also intermediate chronotypes.

Understanding your chronotype can help you align your daily activities with your natural biological rhythms. This can lead to better health, greater productivity and overall well-being.

The MEQ comprises 19 questions that address aspects such as the time you go to bed and get up, your energy levels at different times of the day, and when you prefer to plan certain activities. Based on the answers, the questionnaire gives a score that indicates whether you have a preference for mornings, middays or evenings.
