Child and Youth Resilience Measure-Revised (CYRM-R) Test

A child or young person completing the Child and Youth Resilience Measure-Revised (CYRM-R) Test can use it to reflect on relationships, learning, independence, and current resources in everyday life. This child resilience test is most useful when a trusted adult helps discuss the answers without answering on the respondent's behalf. Results organize personal and social strengths into a readable profile.

What the Questionnaire Measures

Resilience combines capacities with support from family, peers, school, and community. The items address connection, care, safety, fair treatment, cultural traditions, learning, independence, emotional communication, and adapting behavior across situations. This youth resilience assessment considers both inner resources and everyday context.

The three displayed scales form the result profile:

• Social Resilience: 7-35 measures family and wider social resources; Limited support (7-18), Adequate support (19-27), and Strong support (28-35) show the level available.
• Personal Resilience: 10-50 measures socialization, flexibility, self-development, and valuing education; Low (10-23), Moderate (24-36), and High (37-50) show the level reported.
• Overall Psychological Resilience: 17-85 reflects coping, adaptation, and use of internal and external resources; Lower resilience (17-60), Moderate resilience (61-69), and Higher resilience (70-85) show the overall level.

Together, the scores distinguish personal resources from external support and show how the profile fits current circumstances.

Methodology and Scientific Basis

Each statement uses five ordered response positions from strong disagreement to strong agreement, with a neutral midpoint. The questionnaire displays scores for the three scales and an overall profile; higher values indicate more available support or stronger personal resources under the catalogue definitions. Its labelled bands identify the levels shown for each result.

Across the item set, statements address relationships, communication, safety, learning, independence, and participation in family or community life. Published CYRM-R research includes Rasch validation of the revised measure, while the Resilience Research Centre framework describes resilience as access to culturally meaningful resources that help children navigate adversity. The online presentation is a psychological resilience questionnaire conceptually consistent with the published CYRM-R and that resilience framework; published evidence does not by itself establish equivalent norms or administration conditions for this presentation.

Interpretation works best as a profile: a result may point toward supportive relationships, personal coping resources, or areas where additional support would be useful. Because responses are self-reported, scores can shift with current stress, willingness to disclose, and self-awareness; discussion with trusted adults and broader context may clarify what the result means.
