Rhys Method® Life Purpose Profile Questionnaire 3

How to take this Questionnaire

Purpose: The purpose of this questionnaire is to help you take the first step in uncovering which profiles are operating most strongly in your life. It is through this lens that you will learn to see your life purpose clearly.

Directions: Read each statement under each of the Five Life Purpose Profiles Qualities. If you or others would say that the statement has been generally true for you for most of your life, or it represents a common feeling or pattern for you from your past and present, then check the circle next to it. More than likely, you have already done some inner work on yourself and realize you have transcended some of these issues, so answer them as you would have answered them in your teens, 20’s, 30’s, etc., and not just now.

These are archetypal energies that have been with you your entire life. You do not develop them later in life or move beyond them at some age. You may shift from the defensive aspect of a profile to the core soul quality of it, or visa-versa, which may seem or look very different in your life, but they are really the same energy–just the light and dark aspects of it. Both are equally important in the discovery of your life purpose. You must experience your darkness, if you are to full appreciate your light.
