Want to Learn More About Sparketypes® First?

Sparketypes® is a set of archetypes that helps you understand what kind of work really lights you up, and also what empties you out. This helps you know yourself better and understand why certain roles or tasks feel aligned, and others drain you—often in ways that aren’t obvious.

Developed by Jonathan Fields in 2018, the Sparketype® Assessment focuses on identifying your unique, source code for work that makes you come alive, whether that gets deployed in your job or career, in your personal life, or on-the-side.

It’s one of the few free assessments that’s high-level enough to help you make better career decisions and understand what to look for (and what to avoid) with more clarity and confidence.

What Sparketypes® are used for:

Career clarity and pivots
Burnout prevention
Better role design at work
More intentional use of time and energy

When you understand your Sparketype®:

You stop wondering "is it just me?" and get clarity on what needs to change
You see where you've been unknowingly getting drained (and learn how to stop it)
You can finally articulate what you do and what you need—in your own words, not someone else's formula
You make decisions based on what energizes you, not what looks impressive

What Sparketypes® are not:

Not a personality test
Not a skills assessment
Not about what you should do or what you’re “good at”

This isn't about overhauling your entire life overnight.

It's about what gives you that feeling of coming alive—and what quietly drains you, even when you're succeeding.

Sometimes alignment means a new career.

Sometimes it means staying in your job but making strategic changes outside of work.

Sometimes it's a new project, delegating differently, or setting one boundary that actually sticks.

Sparketypes® can help you identify:

What types of work light you up
Why some roles feel exhausting even if you’re good at them
How to design your career, projects, or daily tasks to align with your energy

The goal of Sparketypes®?

Move from "I don’t know where to even start,” “I hate my job,” or “I can't do this anymore" to finding manageable, simple ways to bring back your energy and flow.

How Sparketypes® work:

There are 10 Sparketypes® total. Most people have one primary Sparketype, one shadow Sparketype, and one anti Sparketype.

Primary = what energizes you the most and comes most naturally to you.
Shadow = something you’re capable of, and probably really good at. This is the work that really drives and amplifies your Primary, but you’re often not aware of it.
Anti = work that takes the most energy. You can definitely do it, and some people do it really well, but it's usually a harder lift, and can end up draining you.

Or, as the architect of Sparketypes®, Jonathan Fields explains, "Your Primary & Shadow are your inner collaborators, and your Anti is your lead weight."

The 10 Sparketypes (very briefly):

To me Sparketype® isn’t about skills, habits, or personality traits, it's about the impulses to work you have that energize you or don’t energize you. You want to bring energizing ones forward, and have strategies for the days when you have to deal with tasks that are a harder lift for you.
