What is your reason for being?
Twelve scored statements across four dimensions — what you Love, what you're Good At, what the World Needs, and what you can be Paid For. Where all four converge is your ikigai. Takes about three minutes.
I feel genuine enthusiasm and joy in the work I do on most days
I regularly lose track of time because I am absorbed in this work
I would continue doing this type of work even without financial reward
I consistently perform at a high level in the core activities of my work
Others seek me out for my expertise and judgment in this domain
I am actively deepening and expanding my mastery in this area
My work addresses a genuine and significant challenge in the world
The contribution I make has meaningful impact beyond my personal benefit
The relevance of this work will persist or grow over the next decade
I can sustain a comfortable livelihood doing this kind of work
There is a viable and enduring market for the value I create
My financial return is proportional to the value I deliver to others
