The Fatigue Scale, sometimes referred to as the Chalder Fatigue Scale (the CFQ—to differentiate it from chronic fatigue syndrome or CFS), is a self-administered questionnaire for measuring the extent and severity of fatigue within both clinical and non-clinical, epidemiological populations.

To measure fatigue severity in a manner that facilitates research in the experience of fatigue in a variety of medical and neurologic disorders (1).
