About this test

A 16-item self-report quiz that maps you to one of four work-engagement archetypes — Engaged, Coaster, Quiet Quitter or Actively Disengaged — based on Gallup-style engagement research and the post-2022 cultural pattern. Four items per archetype on a 5-point Likert scale. The point isn't to judge — it's to name the pattern honestly.

Methodology

16 self-report items (4 per archetype) on a 5-point Likert scale. Inspired by Gallup engagement research and the post-2022 cultural pattern. Independent reformulation, not the official Q12.

Possible archetypes

Engaged · All-in mode: You'd actually do this job for the same pay somewhere else. Rare.
About: Engaged
Your dominant pattern is Engaged. You do more than the job description because you want to, you think about hard problems off-clock, and you'd stay on most of your projects even if pay matched elsewhere. The good part is rare — Gallup puts engaged workers at well under a third globally. Watch out: don't assume disengaged coworkers are lazy. Most of them are tired, not unwilling.
Coaster · Strict 9-to-5 mode: Your laptop closes at 5:01 sharp and not a minute earlier or later. Lo sabemos.
About: Coaster
Your dominant pattern is Coasting. You do your job, you keep your head down, you avoid extra responsibility, and you prefer "good enough" over "great" if great means longer hours. This isn't a moral failure — it's a sustainable equilibrium and many workplaces actually need more of it. Watch out: coasting can drift into stagnation. Pick one thing per quarter you'd rather get genuinely better at.
Quiet Quitter · Ghost-mode at work: You're scrolling job listings during the all-hands. We both know it.
About: Quiet Quitter
Your dominant pattern is Quiet Quitting. You've mentally left, you count the hours, you scan job listings on company time, and you've dialled your energy down on purpose. From the inside it's self-protective; from the outside it usually shows. What helps is rarely "try harder" — it's deciding: are you negotiating to make this job better, or planning the actual exit? Pick one of those two within 90 days.
Disengaged · Slow-burn villain: You're not just unhappy — you're actively dragging the team down. Lo sabemos.
About: Disengaged
Your dominant pattern is Actively Disengaged. You complain regularly, you push back on changes even when they might help, you've let work slip on purpose, and you think most company decisions are wrong. The honesty of taking this quiz matters — most people in this state don't see themselves clearly. What helps is rarely about the company; it's about deciding whether you can recover here, leave well, or are caught in something deeper that needs more than a job change.
