WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Identity Resilience Index (IRI) Test

identity self-efficacy

This self-report measure is designed to assess perceived stability and coherence of one’s self-concept. The Identity Resilience Index (IRI) provides a brief snapshot of identity-related resources that may be relevant to adaptation under internal and external stressors.

The questionnaire includes 16 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. Items focus on domains such as self-esteem, perceived self-efficacy, sense of uniqueness, and overall integration of the self. Scores may be used to inform clinical case formulation or research hypotheses, and the Identity Resilience Index (IRI) should be interpreted in the context of other assessment data and the individual’s cultural and situational background.
