WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Self-assessment of your persistence Test

Self-Rated Perseverance Scale Test

willpower traits

This self-report measure is intended to assess perceived perseverance and goal persistence across common situations. The Self-Rated Perseverance Scale uses a brief set of statements to capture an individual’s typical tendency to sustain effort and remain engaged despite obstacles or setbacks.

It contains 18 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. It may be used in clinical, counseling, coaching, or educational contexts to support discussion of motivational style and self-regulation, with results interpreted in conjunction with relevant history and other assessment data.

The Self-Rated Perseverance Scale is attributed to C. S. Dweck and A. L. Duckworth. Scores are generally considered descriptive of current self-perceptions rather than a standalone indicator of capacity or diagnosis, and may be influenced by response style and situational factors.
