Everyone carries a set of operating equipment through life — what you care about, how you make sense of things, what you're practiced at doing. Most people accumulate this by accident.
This assessment helps you see your Kit as it actually is — not the version you present to others, but the one you're living. There are no right answers. There's only honest seeing.

Purpose
5 questions · Your Heart
Do you know what you care about at the deepest level? Can you name it? Does your life actually reflect it?
Purpose · Question 1
I can name what I care about most — the values and commitments that are genuinely mine, not inherited or absorbed without examination.
Purpose · Question 2
When I face a hard choice, I have a sense of what matters to me that helps me decide — not a rule someone gave me, but something I've worked out for myself.
Purpose · Question 3
My daily life actually reflects what I say matters to me. If someone watched how I spend my time and energy, they'd see my stated values in action.
Purpose · Question 4
I've examined the values I grew up with — family expectations, cultural norms, inherited assumptions — and made conscious choices about which to keep and which to set aside.
Purpose · Question 5
I have a sense of what my life is about — a direction I'm heading, not just a series of things happening to me. Even if it's still clarifying, it's there.
Paradigm
5 questions · Your Head
Do you have tested mental models for making sense of what happens to you? Or do you rely on default assumptions you've never examined?
Paradigm · Question 1
When I encounter a problem, I have specific thinking tools I reach for — frameworks, mental models, or structured approaches that help me understand what's happening.
Paradigm · Question 2
I can usually tell the difference between what I know, what I believe, and what I'm assuming. I notice when I'm making leaps in my reasoning.
Paradigm · Question 3
I've changed my mind about something important in the last year — not because someone pressured me, but because I encountered evidence or reasoning that was better than what I had before.
Paradigm · Question 4
I can consider a perspective I disagree with — genuinely inhabit it, not just caricature it — before deciding it's wrong.
Paradigm · Question 5
I notice my own thinking biases — the shortcuts and distortions my mind uses. I can catch myself mid-error and adjust, at least some of the time.
Practice
5 questions · Your Body
Are your daily habits and skills deliberately chosen to serve what matters? Or did they just accumulate?
Practice · Question 1
I have daily habits that I chose on purpose — not just things I fell into, but practices I deliberately built because they serve what I care about.
Practice · Question 2
I'm actively building a skill or capability right now — something I'm practicing deliberately, not just hoping will improve through repetition.
Practice · Question 3
When I look at how I actually spend my time in a typical week, my actions match my stated priorities. The gap between what I say and what I do is small.
Practice · Question 4
I take care of the basics — sleep, movement, nutrition, relationships — not perfectly, but with enough consistency that they support rather than undermine everything else.
Practice · Question 5
I can point to something concrete I've built, completed, or contributed to recently — evidence that my intentions translate into real-world action and results.
