What is the Who Am I? Identity Exploration worksheet?

The identity exploration worksheet walks a client through eight self-reflection questions, each with its own Rate (1-10) box for how settled that part of their identity feels. The questions move from Core Values and Beliefs out to Goals and Future Self. A final Identity Map turns the answers into one diagram.

How to use the Who Am I? Identity Exploration worksheet

Use this one in session, since the ratings are more useful when you can ask about them as they are given. Work down the eight questions in order and record the Rate (1-10) score before discussing the answer, so the number is not adjusted to please you. Your clients can then draw the Identity Map on page three, branching values, roles, passions and strengths out from the center. Low ratings next to confident answers are usually the place to stop and stay.

Frequently asked questions

What is exploration of identity?

It is the work of naming which values, roles and goals a person treats as their own. This sheet approaches it through eight questions covering values, beliefs, roles, passions, strengths, weaknesses, goals and future self. Rating each one shows where a client is confident and where the answer is still borrowed.

Who am I? identity exploration exercise

The exercise pairs eight written prompts with a one to ten confidence rating, then collects the answers into a single Identity Map. Putting YOU at the center, with branches for values, roles, strengths and goals, lets a client see the whole picture at once. That is harder to reach one answer at a time.
