How the test works
Answer based on your experience over approximately the last month. The items refer to how you usually respond when you face stress, setbacks or emotionally demanding situations. All questions are required.
What this test explores
The test focuses on how often, over roughly the last month, you experience:
- Emotional resilience – how you face and recover from emotional pain, stress or setbacks.
- Flexible thinking & reappraisal – your ability to see situations from different angles and adjust your interpretation.
- Active coping & problem-solving – how much you take concrete steps to deal with difficulties you can influence.
- Support & self-care – how you use relationships, routines and self-care to support yourself under pressure.
None of these dimensions is about “being strong enough” or “not feeling anything”. They are about how you respond to what you feel and what happens around you.
How to use this result
Seeing resilience in terms of dimensions can help you identify specific strengths and areas for growth. For example, you may discover that you are good at taking action but find it harder to ask for support, or that you can reframe situations but struggle with self-care when you are under pressure.
You can use this profile to guide self-help work, conversations with trusted people, or professional support focused on building skills in emotion regulation, flexible thinking, problem-solving or supportive routines and relationships.
Resilience & Coping Styles Test – FAQ
Does a lower resilience score mean I am weak?
No. Lower resilience scores usually reflect how human minds and bodies respond to stress, pain or past experiences, not a character flaw. The goal is to notice patterns with kindness and consider what might support you in the present.
Can resilience and coping styles change over time?
Yes. Resilience is influenced by practice, skills, support, health and life circumstances. Many people can strengthen at least some dimensions of resilience through therapy, coaching, skills training or intentional changes in routines and relationships.
Can this test replace a professional assessment?
No. This test is a self-reflection and psychoeducation tool. It cannot capture all relevant information about your history, context or risks. If you are worried about your mental health or how you are coping, consider discussing your situation and these results with a qualified professional.
