TOTAL YOUR POINTS to see whether you have a Personal Strategic Vision or whether you are DisNavigated.

60-80 pts. Sorry, you’re DisNavigated. You may be feeling somewhat dissatisfied with how your career is going, and you may not know how to figure out the next step.
The Upside: Now is an ideal time to think about your career strategically. You are undoubtedly open and ready for change. Creating a Personal Strategic Vision can help the changes you make in your career be positive ones.

41-59 pts. You’re at a crossroad; time to make a decision.
The Downside: If you are not Dis-
Navigated now, you could be soon.
The Upside: You’re at a crossroad. You have some of the pieces of your personal vision, but looking at a larger picture of your life and career can really help. You are either ready for a change, or are fast approaching a time in your life when you will be open to change. Working on your vision can make that change happen in a positive, life-enhancing way.

21-40 pts. Keep pushing; you’re close to a real career plan.
The Downside: You may be satisfied enough that you don’t feel immediately motivated to get a strategic plan.
The Upside: You may have many of the pieces of your own personal vision. Start to integrate them into a Personal Strategic Vision-that is, getting your career to match your dream. This vision can move you in a very powerful and positive direction.

0-20 pts. You’ve got a vision?
You have many of the sources of a personal vision identified. You may be at a time when you feel “launched” and on your way. Working on a Personal Strategic Vision or refining the one you already have can prepare you for future twists and turns in your career.
