Abstract
Psychometric properties of Tommy's Quest (TQ), a novel serious game to evaluate Theory of Mind (ToM) and the pen-and-paper Faux Pas Test (FPT) were assessed. Results from 67 cognitively unimpaired individuals indicated that TQ had adequate construct validity, internal consistency and test–retest reliability. Participants performed worse on TQ compared to the FPT, suggesting greater sensitivity to subtle deficits. These findings support serious games like TQ as a promising tool for ToM assessment, highlighting the need for clinical validation.
