Complexity fit
Does the concrete work require enough coherence, ambiguity or non-routine thinking — or more than is feasible within time and resources?
Possible question: What complexity is really associated with this task?Work and context
Look at work and context from six angles.
The six themes help you see what a work situation requires, where support is present and which role or context question you want to explore further.
View the six themes01 / Discussion topics
Which side of the work do you want to explore?
Autonomy fit
How do freedom of method, fixed outcomes, coordination, responsibility, decision rights and escalation relate to each other?
Possible question: where can I choose for myself, which outcome is fixed and where is explicit coordination needed?Learning fit
After mastering the familiar work, is there still a meaningful learning question, useful feedback or a chance to go deeper?
Possible question: what really requires development here instead of repetition?Values and quality fit
Can logic, quality, risk, fairness and professional standards find their way into a useful work conversation?
Possible question: which standard has been agreed and which risk do we consciously want to accept?Dialogue and translation fit
Does complex thinking receive enough substantive challenge, good timing and clear language for others to follow and use it?
Possible question: which intermediate step makes this analysis clear enough for others to use?Energy and boundaries fit
Does contribution remain feasible without hidden recovery work, constant overdrive or loss of recovery time?
Possible question: what should be stopped, reduced or protected?These six themes are a product design for conversations. They do not constitute a validated measurement model and do not provide a total score, profile or automatic advice.
02 / Context
A theme gains meaning in context.
Role clarity, timing, staffing, budget, team agreements, change pressure and circumstances outside work give meaning to the same situation.
- A
Which conditions are legitimately fixed?
- B

- C
What other explanation also fits with what was visible?
- D
What information is still missing before a change is sensible?

04 / Frequently Asked Questions
Are these dimensions of a person?
Does the self-scan measure how strong a theme is for me?
No. The themes are qualitative inputs for a concrete situation. There are no strength scores, percentiles or overall ratings.
Is one theme always the most important?
No. You may find several questions relevant, have no clear choice or change focus later. The tool does not rank automatically.
Can managers use these themes to compare employees?
No. They are not intended for comparison, selection, assessment or other HR decisions.
Have the six themes been scientifically validated?
No. These are design choices for prototype research. The tool has not been validated and does not establish a measurement, diagnosis or effect.
