How we measure resilience
We use the Mental Toughness Questionnaire (MTQPlus) — a reliable, globally validated psychometric assessment that measures resilience across four key domains. Unlike generic wellbeing surveys, this tool identifies how you think and respond under stress, pressure, and challenge — providing objective, actionable data to guide leadership development and workforce capability building.
Control
Emotional regulation and influence. How you manage your emotions and maintain a sense of control over your environment under pressure.
Commitment
Goal orientation and reliability. How you set goals, persist through setbacks, and maintain focus when challenged.
Challenge
Adaptability and growth mindset. How you respond to change, uncertainty, and new situations — seeing them as opportunities rather than threats.
Confidence
Self-belief and interpersonal assurance. Your belief in your abilities and your confidence in engaging with others, even in difficult situations.

What is a Resilience Test and how does it work?
A Resilience Test is a psychometric assessment that measures how you think, behave, and respond under stress, pressure, and challenge. We use the Mental Toughness Questionnaire (MTQPlus), a globally validated instrument that assesses resilience across four domains: Control (emotional regulation and influence), Commitment (goal orientation and reliability), Challenge (adaptability and growth mindset), and Confidence (self-belief and interpersonal assurance). You complete the assessment online, receive a detailed development report, and have a 60-minute debrief with an accredited workplace psychologist.
How can I measure my resilience and mental toughness accurately?
The most accurate way to measure resilience is through a validated psychometric instrument administered by a qualified professional. The MTQPlus assessment we use is scientifically reliable and globally validated — unlike generic wellbeing surveys or self-assessment quizzes. It provides objective, actionable data on specific resilience dimensions, identifying not just your overall mental toughness but the specific areas where targeted development will have the greatest impact.
Who should take a Resilience Test?
Our Resilience Test is designed for CEOs and executive leaders making high-stakes decisions, boards seeking governance insight into leadership capability, HR and People & Culture teams developing targeted wellbeing strategies, emerging and middle leaders navigating complexity, high-potential employees accelerating growth, and organisations strengthening psychosocial risk management through proactive prevention.
What are the benefits of a psychological debrief after an assessment?
A psychological debrief transforms raw assessment data into actionable development insights. An accredited psychologist interprets your results within the context of your specific role, challenges, and organisational environment — identifying patterns that a report alone cannot reveal. The debrief creates immediate self-awareness and produces a targeted development plan for the areas with the highest impact on your effectiveness.
Can resilience be improved, or is it a fixed trait?
Resilience is not a fixed trait — it can be developed and strengthened through targeted intervention. Research in organisational psychology consistently shows that mental toughness and resilience are responsive to structured coaching, practice, and cognitive-behavioural strategies. The MTQPlus assessment identifies your specific development areas, and our psychologist-led debrief creates a practical plan to build resilience in the domains that matter most.
How does this assessment help with workplace burnout prevention?
The Resilience Test helps prevent burnout by identifying early warning signs in how individuals respond to stress and sustained demands. Low scores in specific domains highlight vulnerability to burnout before it manifests as absenteeism or performance decline. This gives organisations the data to intervene early with targeted support — a proactive psychosocial risk control rather than a reactive measure.
Is the Resilience Test confidential for employees?
Yes. Individual results are confidential between the employee and the psychologist. Employers do not receive individual results without explicit consent. For organisations, we provide group-level, de-identified insights that inform leadership strategy and psychosocial risk controls — without compromising individual confidentiality. All assessments comply with the Psychology Board of Australia's Code of Ethics and Australian Privacy Principles.
