Which is NOT among the six resilience competencies?

• A. Mental agility
• B. Optimism
• C. Connection
• D. Self-care

Answer: (D)

The idea being tested is recognizing which abilities are defined as resilience competencies in this framework. The six competencies describe how you think, feel, and relate under stress—mental agility, optimism, and connection are examples of those cognitive-social skills that help you adapt, stay hopeful, and lean on others when challenged. Self-care, while absolutely essential for staying healthy and capable, isn’t counted as one of these six competencies in this model. It functions more as a foundational habit that supports your ability to use the other competencies rather than being a core competency itself. So the correct choice highlights a daily self-management practice, not one of the six specified resilience skills.
