Change-Ready Profile

The change-Ready Profile was created by David Brands, Ph.D., and Robert Kriegel Ph.D. in the 1990s to assess a person's response to change in organizations. It is used by consultants during change management consulting.

The assessment contains 30 items to be scored on a 6-point Likert scale, from 1 to 6. It takes between 5 and 15 minutes to answer. The participants score the items themselves on the six traits being measured. They interpretes the results on the same document, with the assistance of the consultant.

Change-Ready Profile Table

Trait	Description
Passion	Measures the level of drive and motivation
Resourcefulness	Measures how effective you are at making the most of any situation and utilizing whatever materials are available to develop plans and innovative solutions to problems.
Optimism	Measures the attitude toward the future. Do you see the glass half empty or half full? Do you believe things will work out in the long run?
Adventurousness	Measures the degree to which you take risks and see life and work as an adventure to be savored and enjoyed.
Confidence	Measures internalized confidence, a deeply held belief in one's ability to handle any situation that presents itself.
Tolerance for Ambiguity	The one certainty surrounding change is that it spawns uncertainty. No matter how carefully you plan it, there is always ambiguity.
