Driver Awareness Tool
Explore the five TA drivers with warmth, curiosity, and choice.
This tool helps an individual reflect on five common driver patterns: Be Perfect, Be Strong, Try Hard, Please You, and Hurry Up. It is designed for coaching conversations and personal awareness, not diagnosis or therapy.
Before you begin
Answer based on how true each statement feels for you at present, especially under pressure. There are no good or bad scores.
How to use this tool
For each statement, use the slider from 0 to 4.
0 = Not like me
The statement rarely or never describes your current pattern.
4 = Very much like me
The statement describes you strongly or frequently, especially under pressure.
This tool is educational. It supports coaching awareness and reflective conversation. It does not diagnose, treat, or replace professional psychological support.
Assessment
Move each slider. You can answer intuitively rather than perfectly.
Driver Awareness Profile
Dominant pattern
A high score does not mean something is wrong. It simply indicates a stronger automatic pattern that may become more visible under pressure.
Coaching reflection
Choose one driver that feels relevant and ask: What does this pattern try to protect, achieve, or secure for me?
Then ask: What would become possible if I had a little more choice here?
