Hope Score Assessment
"Hope is the belief that your future can be brighter than your past and you play a role in making it happen." Casey Gwinn J.D. and Chan Hellman P.H.D., authors of Hope Rising
​
Based on nearly 2000 published studies, Casey Gwinn and Chan Hellman show that Hope is measurable, Hope is malleable, and Hope is the most predictive indicator of well-being in a person’s life in their research done on trauma, illness, and resilience. The Hope Score was designed as an accessible tool to help you apply the science of hope to your life!

Hope is the visualisation of a desired future or outcome, and in order to achieve this we need Agency and Pathways.
​
Agency is the level of willpower, confidence and ability to follow various pathways towards the desired future.
​
Pathways are the ability to generate various routes from the present to the desired future.
​
Your Hope Score is a function of these two components.
Agency subscale
Pathways subscale
If your Hope Score is currently low, don’t be discouraged. Hope is a verb and you can increase your Hope Score by the choices you make and the actions you take. If you are higher in Hope, you need to begin to think about how to maintain high hope through the challenges and adversity of life.
