WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Self-Development Readiness Scale Test

self-development

This self-report measure is intended to screen readiness for personal growth and openness to change. The Self-Development Readiness Scale is designed to support brief clinical or educational appraisal of a respondent’s willingness to engage in self-exploration and learning from experience.

The instrument includes 14 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. Results are generally interpreted as an index of developmental readiness that may help guide follow-up discussion, goal setting, and planning of supportive interventions. The Self-Development Readiness Scale is attributed in some sources to Albert Bandura and Carol Dweck.
