• Purpose: Research demonstrates that fostering our wellness in physical, emotional, interpersonal and spiritual dimensions can aid in stronger resilience in times of crisis. During these times, it's critical that we shore up on our inner reserves of wellness - what we call our "Independent WELLth".

    Instructions: This is a very short quiz to assess your Independent WELLth. Please answer the following questions as honestly as you can. There are no right or wrong answers.

    When you are finished, please click the button to get an email sent to you, which will give you scores and interpretations for your Independent WELLth in these different facets of well-being. You'll also get some reflection questions and commitment suggestions to improve your Independent WELLth.

    Please note: this is a simple Quiz for your own self-assessment (not a validated questionnaire for research).
