MN Situation Map™ · $197

Not your nature.
Your nature in your situation.

The first applied instrument of its kind. The MN Situation Map shows who you are against where you are — your Multiple Natures profile against a written intake about the situation in front of you. Returned as a written PDF, usually within a day. 30 years of practice behind it.

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.

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. One payment, $197.

Intake. We email you a link to your intake. It has two parts: a Multiple Natures Assessment (7–9 minutes) and a situational intake form (45–75 minutes) where you describe what's happening, what's working, and what feels stuck. The situational form can be completed via dictation.

Map. The Map is generated from your intake against your Multiple Natures profile, then reviewed by a practitioner before delivery. We email you the PDF, usually within a day.

The dimension Duckworth is now naming

Angela Duckworth's forthcoming book Situated (Scribner, September 2026) draws public attention 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 the work has answered for 30 years.

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.
