MN Situation Map™ · $195

Your nature seen in your current situation.

MNTEST shows your shape across the Natures and Intelligences. The MN Situation Map asks the next question: what is the situation around you asking, rewarding, costing, and constraining?

Applied diagnostic

Profile + Situation

A picture of where your shape meets the demands, costs, rewards, and constraints around you.

What you get

By the end you'll know three things you didn't have language for going in: where the cost in your current situation is actually coming from, what's holding that you should not force, and which directions are realistic given who you are and where you are.

Profile

Your MNTEST shape across Natures and Intelligences.

Situation intake

What is happening, what is working, and what feels stuck.

Situation reading

A practical map of fit, cost, and realistic next movement.

A clear look at your situation

Not a personality summary. A clear look at the actual ground you are standing on right now — Nature, Situation, Orientation — and where alignment holds and where it doesn't.

What is holding and what is costing

The work you're already doing that fits, and the work you're carrying at a cost that doesn't show up in a performance review.

Where to move next

Specific, named directions. Not advice. The Map shows what is already in motion and what to stop forcing.

How it works

1

Buy access. One payment, $195.

Complete the intake. We send a link with two parts: your Multiple Natures profile and a situational intake where you describe what's happening, what's working, and what feels stuck. The situational form can be completed by writing or dictation.

3

Receive the result. Your profile and situation intake are reviewed together by a practitioner before delivery. The result is a Situation Map you can use to see what to stop forcing and where movement is realistic.

The dimension Duckworth is now naming

Angela Duckworth's forthcoming book Situated (Scribner, September 2026) brings focus to a question most personality and strengths instruments don't ask: what is the situation actually asking of you, and what is it costing you to keep supplying? The MN Situation Map is the applied form of that question. It has been one of the core questions behind the work for decades.

What this is not

It is not a personality test. It does not tell you who you are. It does not tell you what to do.

It is a clear look at your situation, in the language of the Multiple Natures framework. What you do with it is yours.
