Sparketypes

“We all have a unique imprint for work that makes you come alive - your Sparketype®.

For individuals - when you discover and tap your Sparketype, you understand yourself, what fills you up and empties you out on an entirely different level. You are better equipped to find jobs, companies, projects, and craft a career that energizes and inspires you. If your current work isn't working for you, you are far more capable of understanding why, then reimagining and redesigning it to give you so much more of what you need.” Copied from Sparketype.com.

My Experience with Sparketypes

I stumbled onto Sparkestypes through a Podcast I listen to called The Good Life Project. The host Jonathan Fields interviews heaps of different amazing people and it’s all around a good vibe Podcast. Anyway in the pits of my identity crisis I was looking for anything to help me understand what I was good at.

It’s a simple online assessment that helps you identify your primary and shadow sparketype. They give this excellent example in the podcast that people can be driven to the same, or similar jobs for different reasons. They talk about how a Doctor would be driven by the desire to teach, or because of the organisation/orderiliness of surgery, or to advocate, or to perform, or to care and nurture… their were 10 different underlying drivers for what makes us connect and feel in flow with that we do.

You can listen to the podcast interview with Jonathan talks about creating the Sparketypes.
