Understand more about who you are
Explore self-image, belonging, authenticity, life roles and the questions that can arise when your sense of self feels less clear than usual.
Inner Thought Group explores identity as something personal, layered and capable of changing over time.
Who we are is rarely completely fixed
People change through relationships, work, family experiences, loss, ageing, new responsibilities and major life transitions.
Sometimes those changes feel natural. At other times they can leave you wondering whether you still recognise yourself, whether your choices reflect what you really want, or whether you have become defined by the roles other people expect you to play.
Inner Thought Group approaches those questions as opportunities for reflection rather than assuming there is one correct way to define yourself.

Take the assessmentIdentity has many different layers
Questions about identity can involve what you value, where you belong, how authentically you live and the roles that shape your everyday life.
Values
What matters to you, what you stand for and whether your everyday choices reflect those priorities.
Belonging
Where you feel accepted, where you feel different and how much the need to belong affects the way you present yourself.
Authenticity
Whether you feel able to express your real preferences, opinions, needs and personality around other people.
Life roles
The identities connected with work, family, relationships and responsibilities — and what remains when those roles change.
Questions that often sit beneath identity
Am I living in a way that reflects what actually matters to me?
How much of who I am is shaped by other people’s expectations?
Do I feel like the same person I used to be?
Where do I feel most able to be myself?
Which parts of my identity feel chosen, and which feel expected?
What has changed about the way I see myself?
Questioning who you are does not always mean something is wrong
A changing sense of identity can accompany new relationships, becoming a parent, changing work, getting older, ending a relationship or simply learning more about yourself.
Sometimes uncertainty is part of adjusting to change rather than evidence that you need to find one permanent definition of yourself.
Identity tools are for reflection
Identity is highly personal and can involve experiences that cannot be captured fully through an online assessment.
Future Inner Thought Group identity assessments will be designed to help you reflect on patterns in your own responses rather than tell you who you are or determine an identity for you.
If questions about identity are causing significant distress or affecting your wellbeing, an appropriately qualified professional may be able to provide more individual support.
