What are the MTQPlus and MTQ48 Assessments?

At Charge Forward Coaching, we believe that Mental Toughness is the key to unlocking peak performance—on and off the field. To help athletes and coaches reach their full potential, we utilize the MTQPlus and MTQ48 assessments, developed by AQR International. These scientifically validated tools provide a clear understanding of your Mental Toughness profile, offering actionable insights to help you thrive under pressure, overcome challenges, and achieve your goals. 

The MTQPlus and MTQ48 are psychometric tools designed to measure Mental Toughness, a personality trait that determines how effectively individuals respond to stress, pressure, and challenges. Unlike other assessments that focus on behaviors or emotions, these tools delve into how you think—an essential driver of performance, resilience, and well-being.

• MTQPlus: A comprehensive assessment with 63 questions, providing detailed insights into the 4 C’s of Mental Toughness (Control, Commitment, Challenge, and Confidence) and their eight subscales. It’s ideal for those seeking an in-depth understanding of their mindset.
• MTQ48: A streamlined version with 48 questions, offering a focused analysis of the 4 C’s. It’s perfect for those looking for a quick yet effective way to assess their Mental Toughness.

Both assessments compare your results to a norm group, giving you a clear picture of where you stand and how you can grow.

After completing the MTQPlus or MTQ48 assessment, athletes and coaches will receive:

• A Detailed Feedback Report:
  • A comprehensive breakdown of your Mental Toughness profile, showing your scores across the key areas: Control, Commitment, Challenge, and Confidence.
  • Easy-to-understand explanations and actionable insights for each subscale to identify your strengths and areas for development.
• Personalized Development Recommendations:
  • Specific strategies to enhance Mental Toughness based on your unique profile.
  • Practical tips on how to apply these strategies to improve focus, resilience, and performance in high-pressure situations.
• Coaching Feedback Session:
  • A one-on-one session with a Charge Forward Coaching expert to interpret your results and create a tailored action plan.
  • Guidance on setting achievable goals to strengthen your mindset and elevate your performance.
