The question most assessments don't answer
Most career assessments tell you who you are.
CliftonStrengths, 16Personalities, Working Genius, the Myers-Briggs. You have probably taken some of them. They are useful tools.
They are also the wrong tools for the question you are asking right now.
If you are mid-career and feeling the inflection point, you do not need more identity data. You know who you are. You need help figuring out where you should go next.
That is a different question. It needs a different tool.
What it measures
Eight drivers of career direction readiness.
