The PR6 resilience assessment questionnaire is a unique scale in that it measures a combination of mental and physical factors. This produces a unique holistic view of individual resilience.

Domain scores are produced, along with an overall resilience quotient. Each domain is designed as an aspect that can be learned and improved through directed effort. This means your score is a starting point – a foundation on which to build on.

VISION

The most important of the domains, Vision is about your sense of purpose, goals, and personal vision for yourself. The reason this is the most important domain is that all other domains are guided by what it is you want to achieve. Having clarity in this domain allows you to be decisive when facing tough choices, and to maintain perspective when facing challenges. Whether your goals relate to family, to work, or a side project, what’s important is being specific and clear.

COMPOSURE

It’s about regulating emotions. The fight-or-flight response of the brain loves to flare up when facing conflict or hearing about a sudden change at work. Being able to overcome that instinctive emotional response and maintain your composure often means being able to recognise hidden opportunities and solve problems in novel ways. This is because becoming emotional prevents you from properly accessing your ability to think critically.

REASONING

Creativity and innovative problem solving is incredibly useful when facing challenges along the way. This is what the Reasoning domain is all about. This domain needs Composure for you to keep your cool, as well as Vision so you know what goals to direct your actions toward.

TENACITY

Persistence is the key. Einstein pointed out the importance of persistence for success when he said that “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer”. In a globalised world, success is no longer a given. We need to be willing to work hard and smart and stay with a problem if we hope to achieve something, especially if you want to achieve something that no one else has.

COLLABORATION

We are social beings. The brain has a deep fundamental need for connection with others to be able to thrive. The brain has dedicated neural structures to recognise facial expressions, while mirror neurons fire within the brain to help us empathise with others. We are, after all, in this together, so what we do and focus on is not just for us, but to help our communities together and improve our world. This connection is what the Collaboration domain is about.

HEALTH

The foundational domain. Good health means looking after your body through what you eat, doing exercise, and getting quality sleep. A healthy body provides a strong foundation for your own resilience so you can focus on your sense of purpose and goals. Good health is not the ultimate goal itself, but instead is an enabler to achieve your larger personal vision.

Target participants

This is an all-round resilience measurement psychometric.  Measurement is useful both at personal and professional levels.

This makes it a very versatile tool that can help people identify a path forward to build mental strength and grit. The program is ideal for groups or teams, as team-based reporting identifies group trends and fosters communication to uncover root causes and improve together.

Scientifically validated

The PR6 is based on the core neurobiological foundations that underpin resilience. These are identified in our original research available online here. Through this research the PR6 was scientifically validated as a psychometric scale with an alpha of 0.8398, indicating strong internal consistency.
