What kind of coach are you?

Your personality shapes how you program, communicate, and give feedback. Take the Big Five Inventory–2 Extra-Short Form, a research-validated 15-question personality measure, and see how your traits show up with your clients.

  • 15 short statements
  • About 3 minutes
  • Free

Your traits are in the room too

Every client walks in with a personality, and so do you. Knowing your own baseline helps you notice when your default and your client's needs don't line up.

This is a starting point, not a label. The best coaches don't treat every client the same. They learn what each client needs to succeed—and adapt accordingly.
