“We all have our own style and our own particular nature. We can’t avoid it. The enlightened expression of yourself is in accord with your inherent nature.”

Are you curious about your energetic makeup? The subtle energies that guide everything you think, feel, say, and do? This questionnaire will give you a glimpse of your characteristics and tendencies. Think of it as a contemplation to be revisited over time, rather than trying to solidify who you are. We are all a dynamic mix of the five energies—both predictable and surprising—that is constantly shifting in different circumstances. Your profile can change over time.
“Unfolding yourself to yourself is never boring. You are a rich mixture of the five wisdom energies. You can reveal yourself as multidimensional and very colourful. When you miss the opportunity to be fully in the world, you miss your life.”
— Irini Rockwell
Hopefully, this quiz will provide you with some insight into your personality. However, it does not replace the direct experience of doing the five wisdom postures devised by Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche and being in a programme with a group of people. We invite you to a Five Wisdoms programme!
This questionnaire was created by Irini Rockwell and can be found in her book, “Natural Brilliance, A Buddhist System for Uncovering Your Strengths and Letting Them Shine.”
Note: If you can’t relate to the options in a question, keep it open. You can leave five questions unanswered. Answer at least 20 out of the 25 questions to complete the questionnaire.
