Discover exactly where your life and career are working — and what to fix. A research-backed 5-dimension scorecard with interpretation guide, "Fix It" strategies, and action worksheets.
Most career dissatisfaction isn't a mystery — it's a mismatch. The Alignment Scorecard is a structured, evidence-based assessment that shows you exactly where the fit between who you are and where you're working is strong, where it's eroding, and what to do about it. Built on 30+ years of person-environment fit research (Edwards, 1991; Kristof-Brown et al., 2005), self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000), VIA character strengths research (Peterson & Seligman, 2004), and career construction theory (Savickas, 2005), this scorecard measures five distinct dimensions of fit: **Strength Fit** — Are you working from your signature strengths daily, or mostly from competencies that drain you? **Skill Use** — Is your work appropriately challenging — demanding enough to engage, not so demanding it's chronic stress? **Values Fit** — Do the organization's actual priorities and culture match your core values — not just its stated ones? **Growth** — Are you building toward somewhere meaningful, or running in place? **Lifestyle** — Does the structure of this work fit the life you're trying to live? Each dimension is scored 1–10. You get your total Alignment Score out of 50, a research-grounded interpretation guide with thresholds, and specific "Fix It" strategies for every dimension below 6 — drawing on job crafting research, SDT interventions, career adaptability techniques, and values negotiation frameworks. Includes 90-day action planning worksheets, a quarterly reassessment tracking table, and reflection prompts drawn from coaching practice. 10 peer-reviewed citations with DOIs. Complete in 20–30 minutes. Act on for a lifetime.
