      Instructions

      Welcome to the Flexibility Index Test; the FIT-60.

      The FIT is a tool whereby how psychological flexible you are can be assessed. This flexibility determines how you deal with difficult thoughts, feelings and (physical) experiences. The more flexible someone is the easier it is to deal with the unpleasant experiences one comes across. The flexibility measured here is defined by the presence of the six key components of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: Acceptance; Defusion; Self as Context; Present Moment; Values; and Committed Action. The FIT gives a total score on Psychological Flexibility (Flexibility Index Score) as well as a score for all six ACT sub-scales.

      The FIT consists of 60 statements. Read each statement carefully and then indicate how far this statement is applicable to you. Don’t think for too long but give your first reaction. The higher the number you choose, the more the statement applies to you (6=completely agree). The lower the number you choose, the less the statement applies to you (0=completely disagree). There are no correct nor incorrect answers.

    • Psychedelic preparation and engagement coaching focus on exploring intention along with values clarification before a psychedelic experience. True Azimuth Coaching does not offer guided psychedelic experiences. True Azimuth Coaching does not offer referrals to private providers who offer guided psychedelic experiences. True Azimuth Coaching does not assist clients in finding or obtaining illegal substances.

      Psychedelic integration coaching focuses on exploring insight and awareness after a psychedelic experience. True Azimuth Coaching adheres to a harm reduction philosophy around substance use. True Azimuth Coaching does not encourage engagement in illegal activities, including the purchase and consumption of illegal substances.

      While psychedelics can help a person interested in exploring their inner world and their perceptual relationship to the outer world, psychedelics can also be a source of disorientation, delusion, confusion, and psychological destabilization for those unfit, unequipped, or unprepared for such powerful experiences.

      Psychedelic substances can cause long-lasting changes to personality and cognition. Individuals can also have undiagnosed genetic, developmental, neurological, endocrinological, or traumatic conditions that negatively interact with the psychedelic chemical and experience.

      Due to the nature of the psychedelic experience, some individuals must not use psychedelics.
