Spiky profile

Many neurodivergent people have a 'spiky' profile: real strengths in some areas and more difficulty in others. Rate yourself to see yours, and use it to explain how you work.

Private: everything you enter stays on this device. We never see it.

Rate each area from 1 (much harder than for most people) to 5 (a real strength). There are no right answers. Think about how things are for you on a normal day.

Using your profile

Share it with your manager or Master to explain how you work. It is not a diagnosis, and it can change over time.
