Instructions: This questionnaire contains statements that assess how gritty you are. There are no right or wrong answers. Do not overthink the statements. Instead, ask yourself how you compare not just with your co-workers, friends, or family, but to “most people.” Answer who you are, not who you would like to be. Answer truthfully. Remember, according to the renowned psychologist Daniel Goleman, realistic self-awareness is a hallmark of emotional intelligence.
