Whether you're an individual seeking personal growth, a team looking to enhance collective resilience, or an organization aiming to foster a resilient and high-performing culture, the PRI is a versatile and transformative tool designed to meet your resilience-building and wellbeing needs.

Yes, the Personal Resilience Indicator (PRI) is statistically valid and reliable. Extensive psychometric analysis has been conducted over several years to ensure the development and validation of the PRI as a robust and dependable tool. An independent psychometric expert has confirmed its reliability and validity. Furthermore, the PRI is continuously refined and updated to incorporate the latest insights from psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral sciences, ensuring it remains a leading assessment in measuring personal resilience with strong internal reliability, structural validity, and convergent validity.

Currently, the Personal Resilience Indicator (PRI) is available and validated exclusively in English. We are committed to expanding and providing this valuable tool in additional languages in the future to reach and assist a broader global audience.

The Personal Resilience Indicator (PRI) is a proprietary tool developed by Mind Matters. As such, only Mind Matters itself and practitioners who have been certified by Mind Matters are licensed to conduct a PRI debrief. These certified PRI Practitioners have undergone comprehensive training and are fully qualified to guide individuals, teams, and organizations through the debrief process, ensuring accurate interpretation and effective utilization of the PRI results. For a directory of licensed PRI Practitioners, please consult this link.

A PRI debrief, conducted exclusively by Mind Matters certified PRI Practitioners, is a personalized session designed to explore and understand your resilience hollistically. While each PRI Practitioner has a unique style, they adhere to a process with consistent stepping stones. 

Typically, clients complete the PRI assessment approximately a week prior to the scheduled debrief.  The debrief session itself ranges from 60 to 90 minutes and can be conducted either in person or virtually, depending on your preference. During this session, your PRI Practitioner will explain the various aspects contributing to resilience, which are organized into distinct domains and drivers in the PRI graphic. They will guide you through an intuitive understanding of your resilience profile, using the metaphor of a sailboat, as well as a quantitative exploration of your PRI profile and scores.

This dual approach allows for a deep dive into your current level of resilience, providing insights into the key factors influencing your ability to respond positively to adversity. The debrief creates heightened awareness of these factors, facilitating a meaningful conversation that charts a clear path forward for enhancing your resilience.

The dimensions measured by the Personal Resilience Indicator (PRI) are the result of over three decades of rigorous neuroscience and psychology research. These dimensions, organized into 6 distinct domains and 12 drivers, have been carefully selected and integrated to craft a comprehensive and holistic resilience profile for individuals and teams. The research involved a dedicated team of experts, including neuroscientists, psychologists, executive coaches, therapists, and corporate trainers, who worked collaboratively to distill the wealth of scientific knowledge into the PRI.

Each dimension of the PRI is not just theoretically sound but also practically relevant, designed to provide unparalleled insights into an individual’s current level of resilience. The structure of the PRI has been designed to encourage meaningful, insight-driven conversations, ensuring a deep understanding and strong commitment to the development journey. Furthermore, an independent, blinded analysis by an esteemed psychometric expert has validated the reliability and validity of these dimensions, highlighting the PRI’s exceptional psychometric properties and superiority over other resilience instruments available.

No, the PRI is not designed for use in hiring or performance appraisals. Its primary purpose is to facilitate personal development and transformative change. Since resilience is dynamic and changes over time, it is not indicative of job performance or ability. The instrument uncovers sensitive and confidential information about and individual's internal beliefs and thought structures, which are meant solely for personal development purposes. Individual PRI profiles are confidential and only shared with the individual and their certified PRI Practitioner. Please note that all PRI Practitioners are bound by the Mind Matters Code of Conduct, which strictly mandates confidentiality of results, ensuring they are used ethically and are never applied to performance evaluation or hiring decisions.

The Personal Resilience Indicator (PRI) is distinctive in the landscape of resilience and mental wellbeing assessments due to its holistic and nuanced approach to measuring resilience. Windle et al., in their review of 15 resilience instruments, noted that none of these instruments meet the criteria for a gold standard in the intricate and evolving field of resilience measurement.  

Unlike other scales, the PRI uniquely integrates health and lifestyle factors, which are crucially linked to resilient outcomes, as supported by a robust body of evidence. It provides a granular view of protective factors conveying resilience, thereby facilitating the design and implementation of targeted interventions for resilience-building and wellbeing enhancement.

Furthermore, the PRI has been meticulously crafted to incorporate insights and findings from over three decades of resilience research, serving not just as a measurement tool but also as a facilitator for resilience development at both individual and organizational levels.  With its unique structure, outlining resilience across 6 domains and 12 drivers, the PRI not only guides development but also offers profound insights into the responsiveness of protective factors to various intervention techniques, as well as the efficacy of different training and clinical programs. Moreover, independent psychometric experts have validated the PRI, attesting to its reliability and validity in resilience measurement.
