MTQ48 provides a successful framework to test your mental toughness
MTQ48 is the psychometric tool that provides the consistent, reliable and valid measure to test your Mental Toughness and as such provides a successful personal development framework.
Mental Toughness is an important personality trait to have because mentally tough people enjoy better performance, improved positivity and increased aspirations. They have a greater sense of wellbeing through being more content and are able to manage stress pressure and anxiety better. The mentally tough perform consistently under stress, pressure and anxiety despite the scrambling effects of the stress hormones, adrenaline and cortisol.
The MTQ48 psychometric tool tells you what you are thinking and feeling and so how likely you are to act and behave in given situations. It uses the 4C’s framework containing 4 sub traits:
- Control
- Commitment
- Challenge
- Confidence.
Each of the 4C’s focus on a different attribute that independently are important contributors to success and which together form a critically important platform for success.
Control is your self-belief
Who you are, what you stand for and why, and your long-term ambition. It is your anchor enabling you to keep your life and emotions under control. It provides a long-term perspective to counteract the short-term highs and lows, successes and failures.
Commitment is your reliability
Your ability to set and prioritise the right goals and then deliver on them, whatever the setbacks and circumstances.
Control and Commitment form resilience. If you have these in place you possess the ability to survive setbacks and failure
Challenge is your drive
Your appetite for change and for new situations and circumstances. If you are high on challenge you are likely to see setbacks as opportunities and likely to take greater risks to achieve what you want.
The final C is Confidence
Your confidence in your own ability to successfully complete tasks and influence people. The more confident you are, the greater the likelihood that you will achieve successful outcomes.
Challenge and Confidence together form the sub trait confidence; your ability to flourish and to reconsider and take advantage of opportunities.
This definition takes mental toughness one dimension further than stand alone resilience.
By addressing each the 4C’s and ensuring that you are consistently performing well in each, you are likely to become mentally tough and enjoy the benefits of greater performance and wellbeing.
These are all valuable traits on a personal and organisational level in every profession and occupation and at whatever age and stage of your career.
