What is Decision Profile Assessment
Decision Archetype
Your Decision Archetype describes how you tend to approach important career and leadership decisions: what you rely on, how fast you move, and who you involve. It is a current preference, not a fixed type, and most people draw on more than one style depending on the stakes and the situation.
This is a coaching and reflection tool grounded in published research on decision-making styles, career adaptability, psychological capital, learning agility and burnout. It is not a clinical or validated psychometric instrument, and it is not for hiring or promotion decisions.
What you'll receive
- A Decision Archetype
- A Career Momentum State
- Two Growth Edges
- A PDF copy emailed to you
Career Momentum State. Your current mix of direction and fuel (inner resources plus energy). It reflects where you are now and will shift as your situation changes.
Delay pattern. Important decisions may be staying open longer than they need to. Notice where this happens, rather than treating it as a judgment.
Dimensions
- Career Direction. How clear you are about where your career is heading, and how actively you are steering toward it rather than waiting for circumstances to decide.
- Inner Resources. Your confidence, resilience and optimism at work: how much you trust yourself to handle challenges, find another route when one fails, and recover from setbacks.
- Energy. How much physical and emotional energy you have right now, including whether your week leaves room to rest and recharge. Low energy is a signal to look after yourself, not a sign of failure.
- Learning Agility. How readily you seek out new challenges, ask for feedback, and adapt your approach, which shapes how quickly you grow through change.
- Network and Sponsorship. The strength of your professional relationships: whether you have mentors, people who would advocate for you, and leaders who know what you are good at.
