Am I The Drifter?

These questions can help you recognize the pattern before taking the assessment:

• Do you fill your time with activity to avoid sitting with the question of direction?

If you said yes to most of these, this archetype may describe your current life pattern. The Lifescan assessment uses 42 behavioral questions to determine your archetype precisely.
