Mental Toughness Assessment

The AQR Mental Toughness Questionnaire helps you understand how you approach pressure, setbacks, change and opportunity. It explores the thought patterns behind your responses, giving you a clearer picture of what supports your performance and where you could develop.

Developed by Professor Peter Clough and Doug Strycharczyk in partnership with AQR International, the assessment explores four key areas: Control, Commitment, Challenge and Confidence. These offer insights into how you manage emotions, follow through on goals, approach unfamiliar situations and back yourself.

Use your results to identify strengths, recognise patterns that may hold you back and focus your development. Whether you’re leading a team, growing a business or working towards a personal goal, understanding how you think is a useful first step towards changing how you respond.

Get to know your mindset. Give yourself more options when it matters.
