Executive FiRE Index® - psychometric TEST for ResilienCE

---

In high-responsibility and high-pressure environments, performance depends less on motivation and more on how effectively a person regulates stress, energy, and attention over time.

Under prolonged demand:

• Emotional stability decreases 
• Cognitive flexibility narrows
• Recovery slows
• Habits deteriorate
• Reactive patterns increase
   

These changes are often gradual and invisible until decision quality, relationships, or health are already affected.

Most professionals rely on self-perception or informal feedback to judge resilience. These methods are unreliable, especially under stress, when people tend to fall back on ingrained personality patterns. 

Without structured data, development efforts are often unfocused and inefficient.

The Executive FiRE Index® addresses this gap by making resilience patterns visible and workable.

The Executive FiRE Index® is a validated psychometric assessment based on 73 structured items, generating a multi-layered profile of functional resilience. 

It examines resilience across four integrated levels:

Core Dimensions

• Traits: relatively stable personality factors shaping baseline resilience 
• Habits: learned patterns of self-awareness and self-management
• State: current physical, mental, and emotional condition

Under stress, people tend to revert to trait-driven patterns, making this distinction essential.

Eight Resilience Spheres

The assessment maps resilience across eight domains, including energy management, mental agility, attitude, relationships, and meaning, identifying both strengths and vulnerabilities. 

Resilience Continuum

By combining self-awareness and self-management scores, FiRE identifies typical resilience profiles (Resilient, Ambivalent, Tough, Derailed) and highlights the “knowing–doing gap”.

Mental Traps

The assessment also identifies recurring stress-related cognitive patterns, such as rumination, distorted reasoning, and avoidance of responsibility.

The result is a structured, evidence-based picture of how a person functions under sustained demand.
