WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Mental Health Drivers Test - Symptoms and Signs

health

This questionnaire is designed to support a structured appraisal of psychological skills and resources relevant to maintaining well-being. Mental Health Drivers is intended to characterize specific, potentially modifiable contributors to resilience and day-to-day functioning rather than focusing solely on symptom severity. It is attributed to Corey L. M. Keyes and George E. Vaillant.

The measure consists of 33 items and typically takes about 7 minutes to complete. Content areas commonly include emotion regulation, stress recovery, maintenance of internal balance, and use of adaptive coping skills. Mental Health Drivers may be used in clinical or organizational settings to inform discussion of strengths and targets for skill-building, and results should be interpreted in the context of history, current stressors, and other assessment data.
