Ten open questions designed to surface what is least visible — what you avoid, overdo, idealise, project, and what the system around you needs that conflicts with who you actually are.
The Shadow Profile is different from the other instruments in the suite. It does not produce scores. It produces a qualitative report, generated by AI from your free-text responses, that attempts to name what may be operating in your shadow — the aspects of yourself you cannot yet see clearly, or cannot yet own.
The shadow is not a character flaw. It is everything the person cannot yet hold — including positive qualities. What we cannot tolerate in others is usually alive in ourselves. What we have given up to function in our roles often holds more of us than our conscious identity does.
The profile is designed exclusively for facilitated use. It should not be self-interpreted. Its value depends entirely on what happens in the conversation that follows.
Ten open questions, each approaching the shadow from a different angle. You write freely — there are no right answers and no required length. The quality of the report depends on the quality of your engagement.
An AI-generated qualitative report, emailed to you after submission. It is written with clinical precision — naming what appears to be operating in the shadow, opening material for the facilitated session rather than concluding it. The report goes only to you and your facilitator.
