Our framework
See how you run your business.
Solobility is a free strengths-and-weaknesses test for people who run a business alone. It looks at your habits, so you can see what works and what needs attention.
Find your strengths, spot a gap and choose a habit to work on.

01 / The whole business
6 areas to look at.
Running a business alone involves more than doing the work. These 6 areas help you look at how you decide, organise, get help, reach customers, rest and learn.
Direct
Do I know where I am going, and do I move without being pushed?
Design
Do I build systems, or just do tasks?
Delegate
Can I get help, from a person, a tool or an AI, and check it?
Distribute
Can I get the work into the world and get paid?
Durable
Can I last the distance, alone?
Develop
Am I getting better faster than the world is changing?
02 / The everyday work
20 habits.
Each area contains 3 or 4 habits you can practise. The hand-off guide shows what stays with you and what could, if you ever want, be shared or handed to tools. You do not need a helper or an AI tool to score well.
You should do this
Nobody else can do this.
You may delegate, with frequent checks
Someone or something can do it; you look at every one.

03 / Your strongest area
6 styles. A whole profile behind each.
Your strongest area gives you your Solo Style. The other 5 areas still matter.
These made-up profiles show how the styles work. People with the same style can have different strengths and gaps.
Illustrative profiles, not real results or averages. The 0–100 scale is for these examples only.

04 / What this measures
Your habits, not your ambition.
You do not need to want staff, investors or a bigger business. Solobility looks at how you run the business you have.
| Entrepreneur tests may ask about | Solobility asks about |
|---|---|
| Wanting to grow a company | Setting a direction and getting started |
| Wanting to lead a team | Giving clear instructions and checking work |
| Being willing to take risks | Trying things and changing what stops working |
Examples of focus, not a review of every test.
05 / Taking the test
Two kinds of questions.
Allow about 7 minutes. Answer for an ordinary week, not the week you wish you had.
60
Short statements
Choose one of five answers, from Disagree to Agree, with three steps between.
5
Choice blocks
In each block of four options, choose the one most like you and the one least like you.
06 / Check again
Habits can change. Check in after 90 days.
Choose a habit to practise, then take the test again after 90 days. Compare the whole profile, not just the style name.
Scores may rise, fall or stay the same. A retake is a chance to reflect, not a promise of progress.
