Each item uses a 5-point agreement scale and feeds a measure-level score, result profile, and next-step recommendation.
01 · expert depth
When the situation is unclear, I can notice how my expert depth shapes my first reaction. Think about the last two weeks, not an ideal version of yourself.
02 · people leadership
In everyday work, my people leadership stays consistent even when the context changes. Think about the last two weeks, not an ideal version of yourself.
03 · organizational influence
I can explain what strengthens or weakens my organizational influence without blaming the environment. Think about the last two weeks, not an ideal version of yourself.
04 · craft motivation
People close to me would probably recognize my craft motivation from repeated behavior. Think about the last two weeks, not an ideal version of yourself.
05 · expert depth
When pressure rises, my expert depth becomes more visible rather than completely random. Think about the last two weeks, not an ideal version of yourself.
06 · people leadership
I know which routines help my people leadership become more useful and less reactive. Think about the last two weeks, not an ideal version of yourself.
07 · organizational influence
I can compare my intended behavior with what I actually do around organizational influence. Think about the last two weeks, not an ideal version of yourself.
08 · craft motivation
Feedback from others helps me refine my craft motivation instead of defending my first story. Think about the last two weeks, not an ideal version of yourself.

I can identify the cost of overusing my expert depth in the wrong context. Think about the last two weeks, not an ideal version of yourself.
