Am I The Machine?

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

• Are you better at professional relationships than personal ones?
• Does vulnerability feel like a weakness in your personal life?
• Do you work late to avoid the emptiness at home — or the conversations you don't know how to have?

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.
