What you get in your 7CoreX Profile.

A profile you can read in five minutes and use for years.

Your Core

The experience you naturally lead from, with a plain-language description of how it shows up in your meetings, decisions and one-on-ones.

Your full range

Scores across all seven experiences, ranked, so you can see your strengths, your supporting experiences and the ones you underuse.

Your underused experiences

Two experiences to bring into your leadership now, with concrete practices drawn from Work, Reimagined.

How the assessment works.

One question at a time, no trick ones. There are no wrong answers and no "best" profile.

  1. 1

    33 statements

    Short statements about how you grew up and how you like to work. You rate each one from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree", one per screen. Most people answer each in a few seconds.

  2. 2

    Blind and shuffled

    You never see which experience a question belongs to, and the order changes for everyone. Answer as you are, not as you think a leader should.

  3. 3

    Your 7CoreX Profile

    Scored the moment you finish. Read it on screen, download it as a PDF, or share it with your coach or manager.

The 7CoreX Model.

The seven core experiences model is grounded in more than twenty years of leadership work, including hands-on coaching inside Fortune 500 companies and organizations of every size, along with the research behind Work, Reimagined.

Christine also worked directly with other respected voices in leadership research to stress test the model against existing frameworks, rather than building it in isolation. Every question in the assessment was developed and piloted with real teams before launch, then refined based on what actually held up under real use.
