Question 1 of 8 · Identity

When roles and expectations are stripped away, how clear are you about who you are?

I mostly define myself through what people need or expect from me.I can name parts of myself, but I still change significantly to fit different rooms.I know my gifts and values, though pressure can still pull me away from them.I have a grounded sense of identity that guides my choices across different roles.

Question 2 of 8 · Vision

How clearly can you picture the life and contribution you are trying to build?

I am mainly reacting to immediate needs and cannot see beyond them.I have hopes, but they remain vague or borrowed from what others value.I can describe a meaningful direction, though parts still need testing.I have a compelling life direction and a clear reason for pursuing it.

Question 3 of 8 · Alignment

How well do your present goals serve the life and calling you say matter?

Many of my goals come from pressure, comparison or what I think I should do.Some goals matter to me, but my commitments often compete with one another.My main goals fit my direction, though I need to simplify or reprioritise.My goals, calendar and decisions consistently reflect what matters most.

Question 4 of 8 · Rhythm

What usually carries you when motivation and energy are low?

Mostly urgency, pressure and last-minute effort.I have helpful routines, but they disappear when life becomes demanding.I have some repeatable practices and support, though they need protection.My daily and weekly patterns reliably support my work, health and relationships.

Question 5 of 8 · Tribe

Who helps you remain truthful, supported and accountable?

I carry most important things alone or only ask for help in crisis.I have people around me, but few know what is really happening inside me.I have trusted relationships, though contact and accountability are irregular.I have people who know me, tell me the truth and walk with me consistently.

Question 6 of 8 · Culture

What kind of environment does your repeated behaviour create for others?

People often have to guess what matters, what is safe or what I expect.My intentions are good, but stress makes my behaviour inconsistent.I model many of the values I speak about, though some gaps remain visible.My habits, decisions and responses consistently make the stated values believable.

Question 7 of 8 · Wholeness

How honestly are you attending to pain, limits and the parts of life hidden beneath performance?

I mostly suppress pain or keep producing so I do not have to face it.I know something needs attention, but I keep postponing support or honest conversation.I am addressing important areas, though healing and integration are still in progress.I can acknowledge limits, seek help and lead without asking others to absorb my unprocessed pain.

Question 8 of 8 · Resilience

When a setback interrupts your plans, what usually happens next?

A setback often becomes proof that I should stop or that I am not capable.I eventually recover, but I remain stuck in blame, shame or confusion for a long time.I can learn and restart, though I need better reflection and support.I know how to grieve, learn, adapt and rebuild without pretending the loss did not matter.
