Self-Discovery

What Am I Naturally Built to Offer?

A Self-Discovery Quiz Based Prompt on Your Innate Strengths

Description:

This quiz helps you explore your natural traits and the kinds of contributions you're best suited to make — not by pushing or comparing, but by noticing how your intelligence expresses itself in daily life. Each section includes quick-check questions and one personal reflection.

Intro Thought:

Your gifts often reveal themselves not in effort, but in ease. When you act in alignment with who you are, contribution feels natural — and others can feel it too.

Instructions:

Answer each multiple-choice question by ticking the option that fits best:
[ ] Yes [ ] No [ ] Sometimes [ ] Not sure
At the end of each section, feel free to answer the short reflection question with a real-life example or personal insight.

Note for Use:

To interact with this prompt using ChatGPT, Claude, or any other AI tool:

Only share the green text.

You can copy and paste it directly into the AI chat and write your answers there before submitting, or copy it into a document editor (like Google Docs, Word, or Pages) to answer first, then paste it in full.

Green text includes the main prompt and your answers to the quiz-style questions and reflections.
Text in white or blue is meant to guide you — no need to share that with the AI unless you want to.
