Lifestyle Assessment Guide for Users
The Lifestyle Assessment developed by Find Your Grind is a unique tool that goes beyond most traditional personality assessments to provide information that is both useful and original. Online quizzes and personality tests are prolific and use a variety of archetypal imagery that is repackaged for entertainment purposes. These quizzes can be enlightening but few provide any resources that are capable of assisting with meaningful personal development.
While many personality assessments provide labels for different “types” they often fail to provide much beyond a description of that type with potential strengths and weaknesses. While these tools can be helpful for self-knowledge, they often look at only a snapshot of where an individual is in the present moment. They do not consider future potential or how it can be harnessed and developed.
Students that are preparing for careers today need more than just a list of jobs that might fit their personality type. What they truly need is a framework that helps to guide them through a life-long process of self-discovery. Today’s youth may have careers that don’t even exist at this time. They will need to be prepared to meet these future changes and challenges as they appear throughout their lives.
The Lifestyle Assessment and its corresponding curriculum has been designed with this evolutionary approach in mind. This system combines self-discovery with usable tools for continual personal development. Specifically, this assessment will:
Assist students with discovering their unique combination of traits from 16 different Lifestyles
Help students determine how their traits can be understood and developed to create a personalized, meaningful career path
Give teachers and students alike an idea of both strengths and opportunities for growth that can be addressed to promote growth
Provide educators with a resource that will allow them to customize their approach as they guide students along their journey
Here are two examples of Lifestyle Videos:

Conclusion
The corresponding curriculum developed by the team at Find Your Grind provides the tools to implement actionable growth strategies for students as they begin to navigate their career path.

Information is useless without action and the Lifestyle Assessment and curriculum created by Find Your Grind have been created to fill the gaps that exist within today’s personality assessment tools. Using these resources educators will have the opportunity to provide students with a practical tool-kit to assist them on their journey of creating the lifestyle they truly want to live.
