The Luck Quotient Assessment
You don't find luck.
You design the conditions for it to find you.
Luck isn't a personality trait — it's a set of measurable behaviours. Discover your Luck Quotient across six dimensions and get a personalised report with the smallest next moves that actually change your odds.
Measure your Luck Quotient, uncover your opportunity-building strengths and blind spots, and receive a personalised AI action plan to improve your odds.
No sign-up needed to start. Your report is saved and emailed to you.
Why take this assessment?
Most people treat luck as something that happens to them. This shows you the behaviours behind it — and where yours are strongest and leakiest.
Career & Work
See which moves widen your luck surface area at work — and the one habit quietly capping your opportunities.
Relationships
Understand how your network really creates luck, and the smallest way to become more visible to the people who matter.
Personal Growth
Break the specific pattern holding your luck back, with a next step small enough to actually do this week.
A glimpse of your report
Every report is generated for one person — no two are alike. Here's the shape of what you'll get.
Your archetype

Six dimensions, scored from your answers:
- Curiosity · Action · Reflection
- Positive Emotions · Relationships · Motion
Your mirror
“You call yourself unlucky, yet you act on opportunities faster than most — your gap isn't nerve, it's that you rarely tell anyone what you're working toward.”
Written in your own words, from your answers.

Backed by science
The Luck Quotient builds on the Stanford Designing Your Life framework by Bill Burnett & Dave Evans — applying design thinking to life and career, drawing on behavioural science and positive psychology.
Designing Your Life (Stanford)
Two decades of design thinking applied to life and career decisions.
Design Thinking
Small, low-cost prototypes over big plans — a bias to action.
Behavioural Science
How habits and small nudges reliably shift real-world outcomes.
Positive Psychology
Optimism and resilience, and how reframing setbacks changes results.
The Science of Luck
Planned serendipity and luck surface area — luck as a designable skill.
Network Theory
How social capital and weak ties manufacture opportunity.
How it works
