Abundance Mindset Test

The Abundance Mindset Test (IDR-AMT) was developed by IDRlabs. The IDR-AMT is inspired by the work of Dr. Stephen Covey, DRE, who wrote the book, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.” The IDR-AMT is not associated with any specific researchers in the field of personality psychology, educational psychology, counseling psychology, or any affiliated research institutions.

The test provides feedback such as the following: Abundance Mindset: People with an abundance mindset are liable to believe that there are enough resources and successes for everyone. Since they strive to recognize the power of the thoughts and language we present to ourselves every day, they consciously make an effort to live life to the fullest; in accordance with a generous, creative, inspirational, and happy attitude. These people are aware that it is possible to significantly affect the outcomes in one’s life by optimistically grabbing opportunities and taking advantage of them. In the same way, when looking back on their past, these people make an effort to recall their positive and notable memories (as opposed to their negative ones) and remind themselves of the times they showed mastery over the projects they undertook. Hence, these people attempt to focus on gratitude, their unique strengths, their purpose, and their passions in life. They want to be curious about other people and their experiences, and they try to remind themselves and others that one always has a choice, no matter how bad things get in life. Furthermore, these people also strive to have a nonjudgmental mind, and they make an effort to feel empowered, manifesting kindness and serenity and attempting to energize the people around them while trying to get everyone excited about future growth and challenges.

Strong Scarcity Mindset: People with a strong scarcity mindset strongly believe that no matter how hard they try, there will always be a lack of something (usually time or money) in their lives and that there is not enough for everyone. Since they focus only on what they do not have, these people are liable to develop tunnel vision and become preoccupied with their unmet needs. Hence, their scarcity mindset usually limits their ability to feel contentment, inspire others, or reason logically about the benefits of future projects and plans. Consequently, it is easy for such people to adopt a victim mentality and resign themselves to passivity while simply waiting for things to happen to them. Likewise, these people generally struggle with negative thoughts and beliefs that they can’t help but present to themselves, reinforcing the mindset that there are limited opportunities and relationships, as well as love and wealth, in life. Since they are struggling with such a harsh mindset, these people can easily become resentful of others’ triumphs and hesitant to learn and grow themselves.
