Resilience Test: Mental Fitness Assessment

Measure and strengthen resilience where it matters most – in your leaders and teams. Targeted capability development that protects employees, and supports sustainable organisational performance.

Why Workplace Resilience Matters More Than Ever

In today’s high-pressure environments, resilience is not a “nice to have” – it is a core capability that protects performance, reduces psychosocial risk, and supports sustainable wellbeing.

When employees and leaders lack resilience, organisations experience:

  • Increased stress and burnout
  • Reduced decision-making quality
  • Higher absenteeism and turnover
  • Greater psychosocial risk exposure
  • Declining engagement and productivity

How do we measure Resilience?

We use the Mental Toughness Questionnaire (MTQPlus), which is a reliable and globally validated psychometric assessment that measures resilience and mental fitness across four key domains:

Unlike generic wellbeing surveys, this tool identifies how you think and respond under stress, pressure, and challenge. It provides objective, actionable data to guide leadership development and workforce capability building.

Mental Toughness Model
  • Control – emotional regulation and influence
  • Commitment – goal orientation and reliability
  • Challenge – adaptability and growth mindset
  • Confidence – self-belief and interpersonal assurance

What is a Resilience Test and how does it work? FAQs

A Resilience Test is a professional assessment designed to measure an individual’s psychological resilience and mental toughness. At Get Mentally Fit, we use the MTQ-Plus online assessment, a scientifically validated tool that evaluates the four key pillars of mental toughness: Control, Commitment, Challenge, and Confidence. Following the test, you participate in a 1-on-1 expert debrief to translate your data into a practical growth plan.

Measuring resilience goes beyond self-reflection; it requires evidence-based psychometric tools. Our Resilience Test provides a 17-page detailed report that benchmarks your mindset against global standards. This allows you to move from “feeling” stressed or capable to “knowing” exactly which thinking patterns are supporting or limiting your professional performance.

 

Data is only useful if it leads to action. Our 90-minute one-on-one debrief with a Principal Psychologist ensures you understand the nuances of your results. We help you identify “blind spots” in your thinking and provide specific, science-backed strategies to improve your mental agility and work-life satisfaction immediately.

Contrary to old beliefs, resilience is like physical fitness – it can be developed with the right “training.” By identifying your current baseline through our Resilience Test, you can apply targeted interventions (such as Cognitive Behavioural techniques or Mindfulness) to strengthen your neural pathways, making you more resilient to future stress and change.

Burnout often stems from a mismatch between high demands and personal coping resources. The Resilience Test identifies low scores in “Control” or “Commitment” early, acting as an early warning system. By addressing these areas before they escalate, individuals can redesign their work habits and mindset to maintain high performance without sacrificing their wellbeing.

Yes. Whether you are booking as an individual or as part of a corporate professional development program, we maintain strict ethical standards regarding data privacy. Personal reports and debrief sessions are designed to support individual growth and are handled with the highest level of psychological confidentiality.
