The Shadow Profile

A reflective questionnaire

What we cannot see in ourselves does not disappear. It operates — in our projections, our reactions, our resistance, and in the qualities we admire in others but cannot quite claim in ourselves.

This questionnaire is an invitation to look at what may be operating in your shadow. It is not a test and there are no correct answers. The material it surfaces is for a facilitated session — it is not designed to be worked with alone.

How to respond. Ten questions. Write in response to each — as honestly and specifically as you can. The more concrete and personal your responses, the more useful the report will be. Vagueness is a form of protection the shadow is very good at generating.

There is no right length. Some responses will be a sentence. Others will be a paragraph. Follow what arises.

Note. This instrument is designed for use in a facilitated context. The report it generates opens material — it does not conclude it.
