Resilience questionnaire

Welcome to your Individual Resilience Questionnaire

The following questions are designed to help your assess the resilience qualities that you carry with you as you live your life – ie what do you have access to that enables you to flex in response to the demands of daily living and work.

There are no right or wrong answers. Answer them thinking of how you see yourself generally operating in the world.

Please fill in your name and email address in order to receive the results via email, once you have completed the questionnaire.
