About
A free tool made by people who take purpose seriously.
What Is My Purpose began as a simple online quiz built to reproduce a counseling exercise that had helped thousands of people find their direction. It has been running quietly ever since, generating reports for anyone who found it.
This version — the one you're using now — is the modernized rebuild. It keeps the original activity catalog, the Four Keys framework, and the ancestral validation scoring intact. What's new: a cleaner interface, an AI-augmented report that ties your themes to a written eulogy and your real-life goals, and mobile-first design.
Who's behind it
What Is My Purpose is built and maintained by the team behind Break the Locks — a life-design program that helps people move from "I know my purpose" to actually living it. The quiz is free and will stay free. The program is where we make our living.
The Four Keys framework
A purpose activity fills you up in four ways: Hope, Security, Value, and Connection. The activities that fulfill all four are the closest thing to your true purpose. This framework is the foundation of both this quiz and the Break the Locks curriculum.
