Readiness for change
How Ready Are You for Change?
Take This Self-Assessment to Find Out
Change is inevitable — but how we respond to it can make all the difference. Some people thrive on new challenges, while others prefer the comfort of routine. This quick self-assessment is designed to help you explore your personal readiness for change and how your mindset and personality influence the way you navigate transitions.
You’ll be asked to rate how closely certain statements match your outlook or behavior. Each one taps into a key trait that plays a role in how well you adapt to change.
You can take the “Readiness for Change” self-assessment here:
What This Assessment Measures
We look at six personality traits that affect your ability to manage change effectively:
-
Sense of Adventure – Are you open to the unknown, or do you prefer sticking to what you know?
-
Flexibility – How easily do you adjust when plans shift?
-
Confidence – Do you believe in your ability to succeed in unfamiliar situations?
-
Enthusiasm – Do you welcome change with energy or dread it as a disruption?
-
Tolerance for Ambiguity – Can you operate effectively even when things aren’t clear?
-
Optimism – Do you tend to expect the best, or fear the worst?
Understanding Your Score:
-
89–120:
You likely handle change with ease. You’re confident, optimistic, and usually excited by new possibilities. Just be mindful of moving too quickly without considering risks or consequences. -
56–88:
You’re generally comfortable with routine changes and can adapt when needed. Sudden or unexpected shifts might still throw you off. With a bit more awareness and skill-building, you can grow into a stronger change leader — both for yourself and those around you. -
24–55:
You value consistency and reliability, which helps maintain structure. However, change may feel like a disruption rather than an opportunity. Learning to manage your reactions can reduce stress and help you feel more in control during uncertain times.
