Built for Pressure Academy
An assessment from Hearts & Minds

The i² Identity Index

You’ll see the same 60 words twice.

The first time, check the ones that describe the real you. The second time, check the ones that describe the competitor you feel you’re supposed to be.

We’ll show you where your two pictures match, where they don’t, and what that might mean.

You compete. You lead. You carry pressure most people will never understand.

The i² Identity Index is the same instrument we use with elite athletes, world-class coaches, and Olympic competitors — translated for leaders. Because performance is performance, and stress is stress. The athletes who go furthest learn the same skills the leaders who go furthest learn.

You’ll see the same 60 words twice. The first time, check the ones that describe the real you. The second time, check the ones that describe the leader you feel you’re supposed to be. We’ll show you where your two pictures match, where they don’t, and what that might mean.

Time: about 10 minutes.

The i² Identity Index is a coaching and reflection tool. It is not a clinical assessment and has not yet been scientifically validated. Use it as a starting point for conversation and growth, not as a diagnostic measurement.

Step 1 of 5

A few questions first.

All fields are required.

You must be 13 or older to take this assessment.

Because you’re under 18, we’ll send your results to your parent or guardian as well as to you.

A parent email is required for athletes under 18, and it must be different from yours.

We’ll see you when you’re 13.

The i² Identity Index is designed for athletes 13 and older. We want to make sure the language and concepts work for the age range it was built for.

If you’re under 13, please ask your coach or parent to talk with you about identity, self-talk, and pressure — or come back when you’re 13. We’ll be here.

Step 2 of 5

First picture: the real you.

Not who you wish you were. Not who you’re supposed to be. The real you.

Go with your gut. There is no minimum or maximum number of words to check. Trust your first reaction.

Prompt 1 of 2

The real you.

Step 3 of 5

Second picture: who you feel you’re supposed to be.

Same 60 words. Different question.

Go with your gut again. This is about the version of you that you feel is expected.

Prompt 2 of 2

The competitor you’re supposed to be.

Tap every word that describes the version you feel is expected.

Step 4 of 5

One last question.

Optional. Your answer doesn’t affect your results — but it helps us coach you better.

My faith is central to who I am as a competitor.
