Ikigai Finder

Navigate to /career/ikigai to see the Ikigai introduction page. The page explains the Japanese concept of Ikigai (生き甲斐) — your 'reason for being' — and presents the four fundamental dimensions as colorful cards:

1. What You LOVE (pink) — Activities that energize you and make you lose track of time
2. What You're GOOD AT (blue) — Skills and strengths you've developed
3. What the WORLD NEEDS (green) — Problems and causes that move you to action
4. What You Can Be PAID FOR (orange) — Marketable skills and expertise

Tap "Find Your Ikigai" to begin the guided assessment.

The first of four circles asks you to reflect on what you love. A progress bar shows you're on step 1 of 4. The pink "What You LOVE" banner describes the dimension, and helpful prompts guide your thinking:

• When do you lose track of time?
• What topics can you talk about for hours?
• What did you love as a child?
• What activities energize rather than drain you?

Type your answers into the input field and tap the + button to add each item. You can add 1-10 items per circle. The input also supports AI suggestions and voice input via the icons next to the text field.

As you add items, they appear as removable tags below the input field. Each item has an X button to remove it if you change your mind. The "Next Circle" button becomes enabled once you've added at least one item.

For the best results, aim for 3-5 thoughtful items per circle. Don't overthink it — you can always edit your responses later from the results page.

After completing all four circles (Love, Good At, World Needs, Paid For), each with its own color-coded banner and unique guiding questions, you reach the final dimension. The progress bar is fully filled, showing 4 of 4.

The orange "What You Can Be PAID FOR" circle asks about marketable expertise:

• What would people pay to receive from you?
• Where is there market demand aligned with your skills?
• What economic models exist in your area of interest?

Once you've added items, tap "Complete Assessment" to generate your Ikigai.

Upon completing the assessment, you earn the "Ikigai Discovered" achievement — a silver-tier career milestone worth 25 points. The achievement popup appears with a celebration animation before revealing your results.

Tap "Awesome!" to dismiss and see your personalized Ikigai results.

The results page opens with a stunning interactive Venn diagram — your personal Ikigai Visual Map. Four overlapping circles represent your dimensions, with labeled intersection zones:

• Passion (Love + Good At)
• Mission (Love + World Needs)
• Vocation (Good At + Paid For)
• Profession (World Needs + Paid For)
• IKIGAI at the center where all four meet

Clickable badges on each circle show your item count and let you edit that dimension. A "Download Image" button lets you save the diagram. The toolbar at the top offers Image, Share, Export (PRO), and Retake options.

Below the Venn diagram, AI analyzes your unique combination and generates deep, personalized insights. The "What Your Ikigai Means" section includes:

• The Big Picture — An overall analysis of how your four circles connect (or where gaps exist)
• Passion (Love + Good At) — What your zone of genius looks like
• Mission (Love + World Needs) — How your passions align with impact
• Vocation (Good At + Paid For) — Your market positioning strengths
• Profession (World Needs + Paid For) — Where impact meets income
• Focus Area — A concrete, actionable recommendation

You can regenerate insights with the Regenerate button. Further down, AI-Powered Suggestions offer specific items to add to each circle, plus "Opportunities to Explore" with potential ikigai pathways. The page also includes a Hedgehog Concept section (from Jim Collins' Good to Great), next steps guidance, and a reflection prompt.
