Here are some commonly used assessment tools and their definitions.

Adversity Quotient (Paul Stolz, 2000)

Similar to resilience and hardiness, the Adversity Quotient has been proposed as an indicator of capacity to withstand and thrive on challenging circumstances specifically related to business and the workplace.

40 Developmental Assets (Search Institute)
http://www.search-institute.org/assets/
The Developmental Asset framework identifies 20 external and 20 internal assets. Each asset helps promote healthy development of young people. External assets are essentially positive experiences provided by the world, including support networks, empowerment, appropriate boundaries and expectations, and positive and constructive use of time. Internal assets are characteristics and behaviors that reflect positive internal qualities, including values and identities, social competencies, and orientation to learning. Internal assets allow young people to make thoughtful choices and be better prepared for situations that challenge inner strength.

Enneagram
http://www.enneagraminstitute.com/dis_Sample_36.asp
Personality tool based on 9 personality types. Developed with a more deeply historical and spiritual orientation than most other similar questionnaires by some leading humanistic psychologists, including Gurdjieff, Ichazo, and Naranjo. The types relate to the major roles that people seem to adopt and play in society. There is no definitive Enneagram questionnaire - various free and commercial versions are available.
