Discovering the Shape of Your Calling

a reflection, not a test

Eighteen questions across fifteen short categories, to help you notice what may already be forming in you. No scoring, no wrong answers — answer whichever speak to you, and skip any that don't. Afterwards, a short summary helps you see which of your own answers to lean on most, and (if you want) turn one into a real next step.

This is a starting point for reflection. Answer with real, specific things where you can: a memory, an actual moment, rather than what sounds good. The specific truth is what's useful.

Private. Nothing is saved or sent anywhere — this runs entirely on your device. To keep your answers, use the print / save button at the very end.

The Reflection

Answer whichever speak to you; skip any that don't. There's no score and no wrong answer.

Reading your answers

What You Wrote, Weighed

Not every answer carries the same weight. What you've repeatedly done is harder to fool yourself about than what you admire or hope for. Your answers are grouped below by how much to lean on them — read the first group most closely.

Look for the thread

Read your strongest answers above — the ones you actually act on — side by side. Is there a thread running through several of them? Don't force it. If something real is there, it usually shows up in more than one place. Name it in your own words:

Optional

One Real Step

A reflection only changes things if something follows it. If you're ready, name one small step — something you could actually begin in the next 90 days — and someone who'll ask you how it went. Keep it small and real. Skip this if you're not ready; that's fine too.
