The Gifts Compass Inventory (GCI)
Your natural aptitudes, or gifts, can lead you to the life you were born for. Whatever life path you choose, using your best gifts will make the journey easier, happier, and more successful.
The Gifts Compass Inventory (GCI) is a simple self-awareness assessment that profiles your best gifts. Used by psychologists and coaches for more than a decade, it is a meticulously validated instrument founded on the remarkable insights of Carl Jung who coined the terms, “introversion” and “extraversion.”
The GCI serves as a foundation for all of the other resources offered at Life Atlas—tools, articles, podcasts, tutorials, & seminars. We will not label you with a personality type or a number; we illustrate your gifts—your core aptitudes, your inborn “superpower.”
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.
Misser Berg, President of the International Association for Analytical Psychology (Jungian Psychology)
