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).

She’ll Be Right (mate)!

If we’re to believe the Aussies (and why wouldn’t we) this phrase is a Kiwi thing. Regardless of its source, debate has raged on its merits. Is it a supportive statement toward a positive future and assumed outcomes in times of trouble? Could it be a worthwhile steer-along to support…

Resilience – Real Deep Dive

Let’s really get our heads around what is resilience, and why it has become linked as a convenient association for other emerging trends, such as things like ‘generational entitlement’.

Resilience at its most basic level comes down to an ability to perform throughout life while facing and dealing with fear, hardship and setbacks. Included here is the use of fortitude (displaying courage through pain in adversity), endurance (capable of weathering difficult conditions), and durability (able to withstand wear, pressure, or damage).

Talk Dirty To Me

Did you know most of the world’s population don’t just regularly talk dirty to others, but talk dirty to themselves? But lose the bedroom connotations. What we are referring to here is our internal dirty talk.

Internal Dialogue – Real Deep Dive

We can slant our self-chatter negatively, positively, or anywhere in between. Most of us aren’t even aware when we do it, and less so again of the influence over time. Even singing associative phrases forms part of our internal dialogue. Further, there is mounting evidence to suggest that matters on which we focus can and do become our reality.

Positivity & Confidence – Real Deep Dive

Confidence and positivity are related, but they are not the same. Confidence is influenced by positivity, not the other way around. One could be confident they will fail at a task – whether the outcome is a positive or negative thing. Or, one could be positive toward a good outcome, but not confident in that stance. Further differences are also interesting to consider.

Our Subconscious – Real Deep Dive

Do we over rely on what we currently think we know, or thought we knew? Many consider that us humans would do well to learn more about opening-up, to opening-up!

While scrappy debate is possible on many aspects of our subconscious it’s helpful to frame the whole thing as being the ‘dominant force and influence on all non-conscious inputs through our entire existence’.
