For decades, companies and colleges used skills tests and personality tools to steer careers. The result? Millions stuck in jobs they don’t care about. Gallup says nearly 70% of workers are disengaged. Why? Because nobody asked the deeper question: What drives you? The JPTI™ starts there, uncovering passion and values first, so every role, career plan, or culture fit builds on what keeps people engaged for the long run.

Starting with skills and personality assessments may describe a person, but they don’t reveal what will keep them motivated. That’s why so many careers stall and so many companies struggle with retention. The JPTI™ flips the model—identifying the passions and values that drive real commitment. For individuals, it means clarity and confidence. For organizations, it means better alignment, stronger engagement, and long-term results.

The best career decisions aren’t about skills or titles, they’re about passion. That’s where you begin.

Answer key questions about your values, interests, and preferences to uncover your unique career drivers.

What Misalignment Feels Like in Real Life

Common pain points of values misalignment:

• Chronic guilt and resentment: you feel like you’re failing at home or at work, no matter what you choose.
• Decision fatigue: every request becomes a mini ethical debate. You overthink everything.
• Anxiety and irritability: your nervous system stays on edge because you’re constantly compromising.
• Loss of motivation: you stop caring because effort feels pointless when the system is wrong for you.
• Relationship strain: partners, kids, friends get the leftovers. You feel disconnected and short-tempered.
• Identity drift: “This isn’t who I am” starts showing up more often.
  Burnout symptoms: exhaustion, sleep issues, Sunday dread, brain fog.
• Underperformance: not from lack of talent. From lack of fit.
• Quiet quitting or job hopping: you disengage to survive, or leave to escape.
