What Is the Discover Your Passion Assessment?

The Discover Your Passion assessment helps you uncover what genuinely inspires you. It guides you through a simple series of reflections that bring your natural gifts, emerging interests, and deeper longings into focus—those parts of you that naturally create the most energy and engagement.

As you work through the questions, you begin to see the patterns that have quietly shaped your motivations and choices. You’ll gain a clearer sense of what feels rewarding, what draws your attention, and what points toward the life you were born to live.

Your Gifts: The assessment builds on the GCI by identifying the gifts you enjoy the most. These gifts act as markers on your path—signs pointing toward the kinds of work, relationships, and contributions that will feel natural and life-giving. Whatever direction you take, using your best gifts makes the journey easier, happier, and more successful.

Your Interests: We don’t choose our interests—we notice them. Certain ideas, activities, or subjects simply pull us in. By helping you identify the few interests that have consistently captured your attention, the assessment reveals what sparks your curiosity and joy.

Your Dream of Life: Each of us carries an inner sense of possibility—a quiet pull toward greater growth, meaning, and contribution. The Discover Your Passion assessment helps you listen to that inner guidance and name your “dream of life,” the deeper vision that motivates you.

“When your life aligns with what gives it meaning, your energy and creativity come alive.”

How Will This Assessment Help Me?

The Discover Your Passion assessment helps you make sense of the inner signals you may have felt for years—your natural gifts, the interests you keep returning to, and the deeper calling that quietly shapes your hopes. When these three elements come into focus, you begin to see yourself more clearly: what energizes you, what feels meaningful, and what kind of life you’re truly drawn toward. This clarity brings a sense of confidence and direction that often feels like a gentle relief. You finally have language for what your heart has been trying to say.

As your gifts, interests, and guiding vision come together, they begin to point toward choices that feel more natural and aligned. You may find it easier to recognize work that fits you, opportunities worth exploring, or changes you’re ready to make. The assessment doesn’t prescribe a path—it illuminates it. By helping you trust what is already true within you, the Discover Your Passion assessment opens the way for a life that feels more grounded, purposeful, and alive.

"There comes a time when you ought to start doing what you want. Take a job that you love! You will jump out of bed in the morning. I think you are out of your mind if you keep taking jobs you don’t like because you think it will look good on your resume."

"There comes a time when you ought to start doing what you want. Take a job that you love. You will jump out of bed in the morning.

Gifts Compass has the outstanding merit of staying close to Jung’s original intention of linking psychological type theory to the individuation process. It is a brilliant contribution to the field of typological theory and practice. Of all the attempts to apply psychological type theory to models of counseling and coaching, this is by far the best.

Murray Stein,

Former President of the International Association of Analytical Psychology (Jungian Psychology)

Gifts Compass provides a highly developed and theoretically well-founded tool that allows for an understanding of typology which is far more accurate than other typology models. . . . Especially the link to Jung’s theories of the individuation process provides a dynamic model which is highly useful when considering developmental processes.

This type of career interest exploration is much more interactive than filling in bubbles: it causes you to truly examine a career path from all important angles.

I struggled my first year of college, studying the life sciences. Then I took the Gifts Compass and completed the Discover Your Passion consult. Those assessments gave me a renewed sense of purpose and direction. I changed my major to marketing and the next year, I made the dean’s list.

John Carroll

The Discover Your Passion process helped me quickly identify the place where my passions and talents truly align. I am spending this year honing my skills and building new relationships and I plan to launch my new journey next year. Best of all, I have a new spring in my step every morning when I jump out of bed.

"As a mid-career professional looking to make a change in my career trajectory Life Atlas turned out to be the perfect tool to define my natural inclinations and proclivities which allowed me to make a more informed decision about my next steps. I could not recommend Life Atlas more highly if you plan to shift your career goals.”

I've done the Myers-Briggs and the Enneagram personality assessments before, but I found this one really pushed me to think about myself and what truly makes me happy in ways the others did not."

Mark C.

“Before, I had little idea what my gifts were or how they correlated with the future I have planned. After doing the Discover Your Passion consult, I now know what steps to take next toward my career. I can use the knowledge that I have learned and apply it to the choices I make . . . I can “look before I leap” so that I don’t get stuck in something I have no interest in!”

“I have an aptitude for dreaming inwardly and also outwardly dreaming big—I want to make big changes in the outside world, not just within my own little circle. The Visionary, Aesthetic, and Idealistic Gifts include my talent for poetry/artistry, and my Idealistic and Social Gifts team up as a devotion to maintaining and enhancing a sense of Community wherever I am living. This is such an exciting combination of gifts because it allows me to be a really spectacular member of society as well as an artist!”

College Junior

“I entered college as a biology major. At the end of my freshman year, I felt neither happy nor successful. Feeling lost, with no sense of clear direction, I completed the Discover Your Passion assessment. It gave me a renewed sense of purpose and direction. I changed my major to marketing, and I made the dean’s list. Now, I am doing better than ever in school; I enjoy the work and my new friends. I feel that I have found a course of study that matches my gifts and passion well. I would highly recommend the Gifts Compass to any incoming college student.”
