The Retirement Success Profile ©

The Retirement Success Profile © (RSP) is a 120-item assessment which measures a person’s readiness to retire. It is helpful in a couple of ways: 1) by providing a quantitative measure of a person’s preparation for retirement to date, and 2) by pinpointing areas where a person can focus attention to raise his or her level of retirement readiness.

The RSP measures 15 "retirement success factors." These factors have been proven to reveal how likely it is that someone can build a happy and personally successful lifestyle in their later years. The more directly a person addresses these factors the better his/her chances of having a successful retirement. These 15 retirement success factors are:

1. Work Reorientation
2. Attitude Toward Retirement
3. Personal Directedness
4. Health Perception
5. Financial Security
6. Current Life Satisfaction
7. Projected Life Satisfaction
8. Life Meaning
9. Leisure Interests
10. Adaptability
11. Life Stage Satisfaction
12. Dependents
13. Family/Relationship Issues
14. Perception of Age
15. Replacement of Work Functions

The result of the RSP is a customized report providing each individual with his or her own specific strengths and concerns based on the 15 retirement success factors. This information can then be used to build a personal retirement options plan. The RSP can be used before retiring, during retirement, and after retiring as a measure of personal progress towards building a successful lifestyle.

The RSP is based on over 20 years of research in life-long development and career maturity by Dr. Richard P. Johnson and has its roots in the work of early life span developmentalists (Levinson, Sheehy, Gould, Valient, and McCory).
