HEALTHY HEALTH (Robust Health)

The term “HEALTH” has assumed great significance following the dreaded Pandemic (Covid-19), in which millions of people, all over the world, suffered and perished, experiencing unprecedented trauma. The onslaught of the deadly virus was so severe and uncontrollable that even highly developed countries, having excellent health services, could not effectively control the disease. People of all ages, young and old were equally affected. However, across the board, there were some exceptions too. It was observed that some people, with better immunity, in spite of exposure to the virus were unaffected. These people seem to possess, what we may call, Healthy Health or robust health. In other words, some individuals have stronger immunity that can effectively resist widespread infection conditions.

Research on the subject reveals that there are certain factors that result in promoting Healthy Health. Factors like healthy genes, healthy lifestyle, regular exercise and Yoga, proper nutrition, avoiding smoking and drinking, controlling weight, stress, etc. Here, with our vast experience with counseling and psychometric evaluation have developed and standardized Tests, presented here, to assess how healthy (or robust) is your Health.

What is Health ?

Health according to Oxford Dictionary: ” Soundness of body, general condition of the body; usually qualified as good, bad, delicate, etc”. Earlier definitions emphasized the soundness of the body, the absence of disease or infirmity, and sometimes feelings of well-being. In 1948, the World Health Organization (WHO) modified the concept of health: Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Thus, the emphasis is changed from physical condition to a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. Later, on the insistence of India, the dimension of spiritual health was included along with physical, mental, and social.

In our long clinical experience, dealing with normal and abnormal personalities, it has been observed that health is a construct (like intelligence) that has a number of different dimensions, over and above what WHO’s definition Includes (Physical, Mental, Social, and Spiritual). In our opinion/experience, two more dimensions need to be included to make it a holistic measure of one’s Health. The additional dimensions included are Emotional Health and Financial Health. These dimensions (available here as a package), have been found to be optimum in assessing the present and the future course of one’s Health.

ABOUT TESTS:

The psychometric tools (Tests) presented in this online Health assessment series have been developed and standardized, by highly qualified and experienced authors (KDB & AB), with long experience in the fields of Psychometry, Personality, Counseling, and Psychotherapy. Developing and standardizing a psychometric tool is a rigorous process that involves careful conceptualization and defining of constructs, planning, designing, data collection, data analysis, validation and reliability procedures and establishment of norms. All these critical steps have been followed assiduously in developing and standardizing these Tests.

For interpretation, raw scores of individuals are converted into standardized scores and norms have been established using empically derived normal distribution curve.
