Know yourself before you build your plan.
Every HPAC project starts with assets. These short tools help you name your own: what you are good at, how you like to work, what kind of career fits, and who is already in your corner. Nothing you type leaves your browser. Print or save your results and bring them to your team.
My asset inventory
Six kinds of capital, the same six we look for in a community. Write what you already have. Be specific: a person's name, a skill, a place.
My work style
Twelve pairs. Pick the one that sounds more like you. There are no right answers, and most people are somewhere in the middle. The result describes how you like to work on a team, which helps your HPAC team divide the work.
This is a reflection, not a test. Published personality instruments are trademarked and must be taken through their owners; this one is ours and free.
Career interests
Two free, trustworthy tools from the U.S. Department of Labor. Take the Interest Profiler, then explore the health careers it suggests.
O*NET Interest Profiler
Sixty questions, about ten minutes. Scores six interest areas (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, Conventional) and lists matching careers by training level.

Your top two interest areas plus your asset inventory point to the role you should take on your team: researcher, organizer, builder, storyteller, or connector.
Project rolesMy circle of support
Who can you call? List one person for each: a family member, a teacher or coach, a friend who tells you the truth, an adult outside your family, and someone you help. That list is your first community partner map.
