Pre-and-Post Assessment
READ CAREFULLY!
The content on this webpage is connected to the following textbooks:
- The Resilient Professional (Interactive eTextbook)
- The Science of Professional Resilience (Printed Textbook version)
The skills and techniques taught in the book aim to transform your life by restructuring your brain in a positive way. One way to measure that change is through pre- and post-assessment. This page serves as a place to save all of your pre-assessment and post-assessment scores in one place so you can more easily compare them to one another at the end of the course.
Remember that there are no right or wrong answers. Just answer with honesty, so you get an accurate measurement.
Disclaimer: The scores on the self-assessments do not reflect any diagnosis. They are meant as a tool to help measure your progress. If you have any concerns about your current well-being, please contact your healthcare provider.
