Emotional Resilience is a fundamental temperamental factor that relates to a cluster of attributes including flexibility, emotional stability and self-efficacy. When these are present the individual is able to think clearly and creatively without being emotionally reactive and has the confidence to engage challenging circumstances with a degree of confidence.
Flexibility
Flexibility is a mental-intellectual characteristic suggesting adaptability, curiosity, creativity, and the ability to be open to new possibilities, all of which is helpful in navigating through challenging circumstances.
Emotional Stability
Emotional Stability is an affective-emotional attribute and when present enables an individual to manage their emotions such that they can still think clearly and behave rationally without becoming emotionally reactive. Too much emotional reactivity can lead to actions and consequences that result in increased stress.
Self Efficacy
Self-Efficacy is a directional-motivational component that informs an individual’s willingness to take on challenges, learn new things and aspire to successful outcomes. When present, self-efficacy instills a sense of confidence, optimism, and the belief that “I will succeed in overcoming adversity.” When this is present the individual feels strong enough to take on the challenge.

Social Drives are derived from the work of Abraham Maslow and the later work of Richard Barrett. The Five Lens evaluation of the drives provides an indication of the needs and immediate concerns of individuals. These may be related to basic survival issues, or the need to affiliate with others in close relationship and feel a sense of belonging, or the need to be recognised more broadly as a trusted member of a larger community which enables self-esteem. In addition there may be a motivation to leave a legacy of some kind that makes a positive difference in the world that, in a way, transcends the self.
