Score your job
I made this guide to help people with ADHD find a job that might suit them better than the one they’re in. Tune the four dials to find out where your job sits, and compare it to how other jobs score. Play around with the dials to find the sweet spot for you.
Autonomy
How much control do you have over when and where you work?
Stimulation
Does your brain have something new or engaging to bite into on a daily basis?
Immediacy
How quickly do you find out whether what you did actually worked? Deadlines, feedback etc.
Real work
How much of your week is spent on your core task, as opposed to filler tasks like emails, invoicing, forms, lead nurturing, etc.
Which two can’t you live without?
No job scores forty. Pick the dials that matter most to you and the matches below will weight them.
Jobs shaped like yours
The twelve closest of 192, by shape rather than by score.
Please take these with a pinch of salt. They are purely estimates based on what an average might look like for each role. Real work in particular depends more on your employer than your job title. Feel free to disagree with me. This is just a guide, and your own shape is the one that matters. From The ADHD Job Dials.
