This measure is designed to assess perceived perseverance and persistence in goal pursuit. The Self-Assessment of Perseverance is a brief self-report questionnaire intended to capture how individuals view their ability to sustain effort, manage setbacks, and remain engaged with tasks when progress is slow.
The instrument includes 18 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. Items focus on subjective perceptions of willpower-related behavior (e.g., maintaining motivation under difficulty, continuing effort despite obstacles, and staying focused on longer-term goals). As described by C. S. Dweck and A. L. Duckworth, the Self-Assessment of Perseverance can be used as a screening or descriptive tool in clinical, counseling, educational, or coaching contexts to support case formulation and guide discussion of self-regulatory strengths and barriers.
