Bloom Elicitation Protocol

The BEP is a reflective diagnostic tool designed to understand how a person experiences forces, meaning, tension, growth, and direction in their life or work.

There are no right or wrong answers, and this is not a test. Your responses will be kept confidential and used only for developmental insight.

Question 1 — Forces

Describe the forces in your life or work that shape you the most. They may be pressures, inspirations, expectations, conflicts, or energies. What pushes, pulls, or moves you?

Question 2 — Growth

When you think about growth, what does it mean to you? What conditions help you expand, and what conditions make you contract?

Question 3 — Obstacles

Describe the obstacles you find yourself facing most often. These may be internal, external, habitual, or structural.

Question 4 — Contribution

What do you naturally bring to groups, projects, or relationships? What do you believe is your 'signature impact' on others?

Question 5 — Tension

Where do you feel the most tension in your work or life? What situations consistently create strain, conflict, or misalignment?

Question 6 — Structure

Describe the kind of environment or structure in which you function best. What does an ideal ecosystem look and feel like for you?

Question 7 — Meaning

What gives your work or life meaning? When do you feel most aligned, alive, or connected to purpose?

Question 8 — Vision

Describe the future you’re moving toward — personally, professionally, or both. What do you hope to build or become?

Question 9 — Context

If there is any additional context you believe is important for understanding your responses, you may describe it here.
