The Short Grit Scale (Grit-S)

The Grit-S (Duckworth and Quinn, 2009) is a 8-item self-report measure of trait-level perseverance and passion for long-term goals. The Grit-S retains the 2-factor structure of the original Grit Scale (Duckworth, Peterson, Matthews, & Kelly, 2007) with 4 fewer items and improved psychometric properties. The scale is scored on a 5-point Likert scale rating how much each statement related to oneself (1=very much like me, 5=not like me at all).
