About Toolbox Quizzes

Simply being aware of some aspects which drive and influence our daily lives is a powerful first step to turning inward with curiosity and care, and which may initiate further ideas/choices.

Quizzes can be conducted with or without a support person, and are useful for individuals to:

  • Build better awareness of how they see themselves.
  • Explore their inner world with curiosity, not judgment.
  • Support emotional wellbeing, creative expression, and personal growth.

And for professionals to:

  • Aid counsellors and psychologists to use these tools at their own discretion.
  • Coach and educate to foster metacognition and reflective learning.
  • Further narrative therapy, dialogical therapy, and cognitive-behavioural approaches.

Quizzes may additionally prove beneficial for user selected third parties (IE in a pre-employment assessment situation, sports coaching, or professional counselling environment).

Resilience Quiz

What is the Brief-Resilience Scale (BRS)?

The Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) is a self-assessment tool that measures a person’s resilience after stress or trauma.

The Brief Resilience Scale differs from other resilience scales because it does not attempt to measure or even identify personal characteristics and social resources that someone may possess or develop to help promote adaptation.

The Brief Resilience Scale was developed purely to assess the concept of resilience under its original etymology or measure of ability. (Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), 2019.)

How does it assess a person’s ability to cope and bounce back?

The Brief-Resilience Scale intends to measure one’s ability to bounce back or recover from stress. According to Smith et al. (2008), these notions of ‘bouncing back’ and recovering from stress are closest to the original meaning of resilience.

Previous measures have typically assessed things like protective factors or resources that involve personal characteristics and coping styles. The brief resilience scale is designed to measure and evaluate resilience in terms of how quickly one adapts to stress, bounces back, resists illness, and thrives in the face of adversity.

Being able to measure how someone bounces back from stress provides valuable insight when it comes to helping a person cope with health-related stressors (Smith et al., 2008)
