What this measures

  • i.
    Endurance and perseverance Capacity to stay engaged with a long-term goal under pressure. Adapted from the Grit Scale (Duckworth, 2007).
  • ii.
    Locus of control and responsibility The degree to which you attribute outcomes to your own decisions versus external forces. Rooted in Rotter (1966) and Levenson's IPC scale.
  • iii.
    Growth mindset and self-reflection How you metabolize feedback, failure, and adversity. Based on Dweck's implicit theories of intelligence (1999, 2006).
  • iv.
    Long-game identity anchoring The clarity and integration of your identity over time. Drawn from Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000) and identity-capital research (Côté, 1996).

This is a self-assessment grounded in validated psychological constructs. It is not a clinical instrument and is not a substitute for professional consultation. Your responses are scored locally in your browser. No data leaves your device unless you choose to receive your full diagnosis by email.

Results are intended to surface patterns for personal reflection, not to provide clinical diagnosis or substitute for professional psychological consultation.
