Understanding Your Readiness for Change
​
The University of Rhode Island Change Assessment (URICA) is a simple, research-based tool that helps you explore where you are in your personal growth journey. It isn’t a test or a diagnosis — it’s a way to better understand how ready you feel to make changes in your life.
​
The assessment looks at four stages of change:
-
Precontemplation: You may not yet see a need for change or feel it applies to you right now.
-
Contemplation: You’re thinking about making a change, but still deciding what that might look like.
-
Action: You’re actively taking steps to make positive changes.
-
Maintenance: You’re working to maintain your progress and prevent setbacks.
​
Your results offer insight into your current mindset and help guide your next steps — whether you’re just starting to think about change or already taking action toward it.
