How resilient are you?
This short quiz will take you a few minutes to complete and will show you where you are doing well and where you might need to improve. You could even take this now, and again in three or six months time, to see if things have changed as a result of the recent experience. This Resiliency Quiz is taken from www.resiliencyquiz.com (Practical Psychology Press) and based on The Resiliency Advantage: Master Change, Thrive Under Pressure and Bounce Back from Setbacks by Al Siebert (Berrett-Koehler, 2005).
Rate yourself from 1 to 5 (1 = very little, 5 = frequently or strong)
