WHY THIS EXISTS

A question worth asking.

A role can meet more than one value. Use concrete questions about feedback, working rhythm and contribution instead of relying on a vague promise of good culture.

TRY THIS QUESTION

“What recent work moment felt worthwhile, and which condition made that possible?”

Before you begin

After 12 questions, see which working conditions matter most in your answers and questions to take into a role or team conversation.

There are no right answers. Use the result as a starting point for reflection and keep the parts that are useful in your own circumstances.

WHAT IT EXPLORES

5 themes, seen together.

  • AutonomyYou may value having a say in how work gets done. The useful question is which decisions need independence and which benefit from a shared agreement.
  • GrowthYou may want work to expand what you can do. Growth can come from feedback, practice and a manageable stretch, not only a new title.
  • ContributionYou may value a clear connection between your effort and a useful outcome. That connection can be local and ordinary rather than grand or public.
  • Sustainable rhythmYou may value work that is predictable enough to plan around. Reliability and sustainable demands can support ambition rather than oppose it.
  • BelongingYou may value respect, inclusion and the ability to ask questions. Look for everyday behaviors that make these qualities visible.
METHOD & LIMITS

Know what the result can say.

An original 15-item reflection on five work priorities. It does not match you to occupations, evaluate aptitude, or reproduce the O*NET Work Importance Locator or CareerOneStop card sort. Scores reflect preferences rather than career suitability.

15 questions are scored from your answers. The result describes this set of responses; it is not a fixed identity or a comparison with everyone else.

What happens next?

  1. Choose the experience and answer at your own pace.
  2. Read the result and compare it with a real situation.
  3. Keep one question or practice that helps you act.
