Assessment: The Hardiness Resilience Gauge™ (HRG™)

The Hardiness Resilience Gauge™ (HRG™) is grounded in over 30 years of research and development and provides valuable insight into an individual’s level of hardiness and their ability to cope with stressful and unexpected situations. The HRG™ focuses on the three C’s – Control, Commitment, and Challenge. The three C’s of Hardiness represent the key qualities that people high in hardiness possess. They believe they have control over the events they experience. They commit to seeing the world as meaningful and interesting, and they view challenges and change as growth opportunities.  The HRG™ is a scientifically rigorous tool that demonstrates exceptional reliability and validity. The HRG™ focuses on the impact of a person’s hardiness across multiple domains in their life and supports a wide variety of coaching and development situations.
