Freudly really helped me discover parts of my personality I hadn’t noticed before. It strengthened the areas where I needed to grow and made me feel more grounded and confident in the parts that already worked well.
Emma C., US
I wanted to understand how serious my ADHD is, and now I finally do. I also realized I need to work on my self-esteem. It has been low for a long time, and that makes daily life harder than it should be.
Mateo R., CA
Reading each question felt like someone really understood me. Even though I’ve already dealt with much of this, reflecting still helped me learn something new about myself.
Caroline F., US

Self-Assessment of Perseverance Test

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.
