Before we start

Help us understand you first.

You start, in your own words. Then twenty short statements about how this past month has actually gone, and three about where you stand.

About six minutes.

Most people finish in five to seven. There is no right answer to any of it, and nothing here is a test.

Where something stands out, we name it. Where nothing does, we say so rather than guess. Where a step is worth trying, it is one step, and it is yours to take or leave.

No account, no name.

First, in your own words

In a sentence or two, what is going on with your search, and what is the hardest part right now?

Skipping is fine. The twenty statements are what we measure, and this is so the reading comes back in your own terms rather than only ours. 0/240

Part 1 of 5

Thinking about the past month.

How much did each of these apply to you? If something does not fit your situation, choose the lowest.

Part 2 of 5

Getting ready to apply.

These are about what you did before and around applying.

Part 3 of 5

How it has felt to keep going.

There is no good or bad answer here. Most people find some of this hard.

Part 4 of 5

What you have changed as you went.

The last of the statements.

Part 5 of 5

Where you stand right now.

These are facts about your month rather than judgements about your search.

Before we go on

Does this sound right?

Nothing is sent until you press that, and it carries nothing about your device.

Where this goes

.

A sentence is plenty, and skipping is fine. What you say here is what your first step is built from.

Seven experiments, one at a time

Each one is small enough to finish in a sitting. You can make any of them smaller, and stopping after one is a finished thing, not a gap.

Starting saves these answers and your route progress under one anonymous journey code so this device can bring you back to the right step.

How we read this

Here is what we heard.

This is everything we concluded, stated plainly. If any of it is wrong, it is wrong and we would rather know.

No score, no label, no profile.

We are not comparing you to anyone. We have no figures for people in your situation, so the only honest comparison is between the four readings above.
