Resilience Test: Questions and Score to Measure Resilience
Personal resilience is the capacity to cope with life stressors both in private life and in the working environment. The self-assessment test measures resilience and helps to evaluate how well a candidate withstands stress and can make meaning of the challenges they face at work.
The resilience test was originally developed and conducted by Wagnild and Young in 1993* and has good validity and reliability from several studies. It consists of twenty five questions to test resilience on two subscales: seventeen questions serve to screen the personal competence while the remaining eight questions measure the acceptance of self and life. According to Wagnild, the most important characteristic of all that comprise one’s resilience capability is the meaningful life: it lays the foundation for other characteristics, such as perseverance, self-reliance, equanimity and existential aloneness.
You can take the resilience measuring test and learn your score at the final page free of charge. Benchmark figures are available from a German population from the test conducted with more than 2,000 individuals in 2004.
