How do you cope when life gets hard?
28 statements about everyday setbacks, pressure and change. Your answers give a score in four coping areas: bouncing back, staying steady, reaching out and finding a way forward.
28 statements, no time limit
Before you start
Take the test somewhere quiet where you won't be interrupted.
- Tap one of five answers for each statement. There are no right or wrong answers.
- Answer for how you usually are, not how you would like to be. Your first reaction is usually best.
- You can go back to check or change an answer. The last question asks your age group.
- There's no time limit, so take the time you need.
