Growth Comfort Test

Understanding how you approach growth unlocks your path to success.

By Mark Travers, Ph.D. | Last Updated: February 15, 2026

Your relationship with change isn't just a personality trait—it's a fundamental pattern that shapes how you navigate career shifts, relationship transitions, and life's biggest decisions. This Growth Comfort Test measures three critical dimensions: how you seek challenges, how you redesign your behavioral systems, and how you process feedback. The result is one of eight distinct archetypes that reveals not just whether you're comfortable with change, but precisely how you manufacture or resist transformation in your life. Understanding your archetype provides actionable insights into your growth edges and helps you leverage your natural strengths while addressing potential blind spots.

After discovering your growth archetype, explore our Growth Mindset Scale to understand your beliefs about learning and development, or try the Openness to Experience Scale to measure your curiosity and willingness to explore new ideas.
