CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this questionnaire measure?
It assesses identity resilience: how stable core self-beliefs remain under stress or change. It summarizes self-esteem, self-efficacy, integrity, and perceived uniqueness.
How long does it take and how many items are included?
Completion typically takes about 3 minutes. The questionnaire includes 16 items.
How should items be answered?
Respond based on current feelings and typical reactions, not on ideal or desired answers. Select the option that best matches the first, most accurate impression.
What do higher or lower scores indicate?
Higher scores suggest a more stable and organized sense of self across challenges. Lower scores suggest greater vulnerability to stress-related shifts in self-evaluation and self-coherence.
Can the results be used for diagnosis or selection decisions?

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Identity Resilience Index, IRI Test

Identity Resilience Index (IRI) Test - Symptoms and Signs

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.
