1. Personal
Key questions about you
- Consider the following questions in terms of how you - as an individual - personally approach opportunities and challenges.
- Think about youself in the present and rank the alternatives based on the extent to which each reflects your personal beliefs and behaviors. In other words, how do you approach personal objectives to achieve outcomes that are important to you?
- Assign the numbers 1,2,3, or 4 to each statement according to which one is the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th most like you right now (assign 1 for the statement most like you and 4 for the statement least like you). For each of the six questions, the statements must be assigned a unique rank of 1,2,3 or 4 (no statement may be assigned the same number as another statement)
I am
I am guided by my
I value my
I work toward
I face challenges by
I am energized by
2. Communal
Key questions about your community
- Consider the following questions in terms of the culture and competencies of your community. Your community includes those people around you that play a role in your personal innovation and growth challenge. For many challenges (including the deeply personal), this community may be composed primary of family and friends. For other challenges, this community may be composed primarily of a work team or collection of professional colleagues.
- Think about this community today and rank the alternatives based on the extent to which each reflects that community's beliefs and practices. In other words, how does this community approach objectives and achieve outcomes that are important to the group?
- Assign the numbers 1, 2, 3, or 4 to each statment according to which one is the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th most like that community right now (assign 1 for the statement most like that community and 4 for the statement least like that community). As before, for each of the six questions, the statements must be assigned a unique rank of 1, 2, 3 or 4 (no statement may be assigned the same number as another statement).

3. Universal
Key questions about the world
- Consider the following questions in terms of the situational forces at work in your world with respect to your innovation challenge. Your context includes those circumstantial and environmental factors that play a role in your personal innovation and growth challenge, in much the same way that weather can play a role in a journey. This context involves those factors (beyond the personal and community) that are likely to bear on your pursuit of objectives and outcomes. Key contextual factors could include such forces as economic conditions, long-standing patterns of behavior or the availability of certain resources. Although several may be relevant, keep the single most important context in mind when completing this section.
- Think about this context today and rank the alternatives based on the extent to which each reflects that context. In other words, how does this context influence the pursuit of important objectives and outcomes?
- Assign the numbers 1, 2, 3, or 4, to each statement according to which one is the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th most like the challenge context right now (assign 1 for the statement most like the current context and 4 for the statement least like the current context). For each of the six questions, the statements must be assigned a unique rank 1, 2, 3, or 4 (no statement may be assigned the same number as another statement).
