Integrating the latest neuropsychobiology and psychology research in the most comprehensive Resilience diagnostic
What is Resilience and why measure it?
Resilience is our ability to positively adapt and bounce back from life's challenges through mental, emotional and behavioural flexibility. Measuring resilience provides a gauge of our capacity to navigate adversity and thrive in an ever-changing world.
The Personal Resilience Indicator (PRI) is a cutting-edge instrument, precision-engineered to guide and accelerate personal development. It is an independently scientifically validated psychometric that integrates the latest insights from neuroscience and psychology in a single assessment. What sets the PRI apart from other instruments is its ability to deliver unparalleled insights into an individual’s current level of emotional resilience by crafting a holistic resilience profile across six domains and twelve drivers.
Numerous factors contribute to our overall health, with sufficient and restful sleep, consistent aerobic exercise, and a balanced diet low in processed foods, sugars, and alcohol playing crucial roles. These lifestyle choices are fundamental in sustaining high resilience levels, providing the foundation for mental and emotional stability.
A robust sense of purpose is indispensable for perseverance. It acts as a steadfast compass, keeping us aligned with our goals despite encountering adversity, thereby playing an integral role in navigating through life’s challenges with resilience and determination.
Our capacity for cognition determines how well we can adapt to changing circumstances and solve unexpected challenges. Being able to adapt to fluctuations and change is the driving force spurring our personal and professional growth.
Cognition skills are an important aspect of resilience because they allow us to overcome obstacles and challenges that might otherwise bog us down. The more problems we solve, the more confident in our abilities we become as a result.
encountering challenges or setbacks. The inner drive keeps us going when it may seem easier and more appealing to quit. It embodies the infamous nevergive-up attitude.
We have a natural tendency to pay more attention to negative experiences than to positive events. It is our interpretation of adversity that drives our ability to persevere. It is the difference between regarding failure as a temporary obstacle and an opportunity to grow or taking failure as proof that there is something wrong with us or that we can not succeed.
Perseverance is not about looking at the world through rose-tinted glasses, but instead regarding adversity with a realistic sense of optimism that allows us to identify the opportunity in failure and focus on what is within our control.
Our brain’s primary function is to ensure our survival. In situations that we perceive as threatening, our natural survival mechanism kicks in: the fight-orflight mode. It overrides executive brain functions, such as our ability to think logically.
The strong emotions that we associate with this response (such as fear or anger) are a call-to-action to deal with the perceived threat and ensure our survival. Most of us are very familiar with the typical physiological responses in this kind of situation. As the brain readies the body for action, our heart rate accelerates, we breathe faster, and we may start to sweat.
Relationships are most crucial to us in times of hardship. Our connections with other people influence how resilient we can be in the face of an emotional, psychological or physical crisis.
The better and broader the social support we can draw upon, be it from family, friends or colleagues, the more flexible and adaptive we are in the face of adversity.
The latest neuro-psychobiology in a single assessment
Science-Based
The PRI distills more than three decades of neuroscience and psychology research into one integrated assessment. Crafted by a dedicated team of experts, (including neuroscientists, psychologists, executive coaches, therapists, and corporate trainers) the PRI offers a practical and insightful approach to understanding brain health.
Insight-Driven
The PRI provides a holistic overview of an individual's current level of resilience across six domains and twelve drivers. Each driver can be strengthened through targeted, evidence-based exercises and techniques. Our PRI report encourages meaningful, insight-driven conversations, ensuring a deep understanding and genuine commitment to the 'Why,' 'What,' and 'How' of the development journey.
Development-Focused
The PRI offers a tangible measure of progress, functioning as a structured guide to facilitate, expedite, and assess personal growth. Whether you embark on one-on-one coaching journeys, group training, or corporate mental wellbeing programs, the PRI becomes a trusted ally in tracking and elevating the development process.
Independently Validated
The PRI's credibility is bolstered by an independent, blinded analysis by an esteemed psychometric expert. Their findings highlight the PRI's exceptional psychometric properties and superior reliability over other resilience tools. This validation firmly establishes PRI as the trusted choice for enhancing personal resilience and mental wellbeing in various contexts.
The power of the Personal Resilience Indicator
In contrast to conventional resilience assessments that can take hours to put into a meaningful context, the Personal Resilience Indicator (PRI) reveals insights in mere moments.
The circular PRI graphic goes beyond a simple score; it provides individuals with valuable background by positioning their score relative to the broader population. This unique feature allows individuals to understand precisely where they stand compared to others, offering insights into how their resilience measures up in real-world terms.
Additionally, the PRI graphic delves deeper, breaking down resilience into 6 domains and 12 drivers. This comprehensive breakdown offers individuals a granular view of their strengths. It also highlights areas for growth within the specific facets of resilience by helping to uncover the bedrock of beliefs and assumptions – the emotional and cognitive patterns that drive our reactions to our internal and external circumstances.
Thus, the Personal Resilience Indicator provides a detailed snapshot of resilience in time, allowing individuals to answer the question: “How are my thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors enabling or limiting my ability to positively respond to life’s challenges and enjoy life to the fullest?”.
Armed with these insights, the Personal Resilience Indicator empowers individuals to take charge of their personal growth journey, providing them with actionable insights to thrive in a dynamic world.
The PRI draws from a wealth of scientific research spanning over 30 years. To stay at the forefront of resilience assessments, we continually adapt the PRI by incorporating the latest insights from psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral sciences.
Rigorous statistical and methodological analyses conducted by an independent psychometric expert and professor of Psychology confirm that The Personal Resilience Indicator is an internally consistent, valid measure of personal resilience with robust psychometric properties, with strong internal reliability, structural validity, and convergent validity.
