How the Online Game Works

The 6-step online game walkthrough

1
Choose a Deck of Cards

The game starts with a deck divided into six piles. Select any pile to start—it doesn't matter where you begin!

2
Select Three Drivers Per Pile & Define Them

Select your top 3 drivers from each pile and drag them into the slots. Define in your own words what these mean to you (e.g. "Creativity" means different things to everyone!).

3
Find Your Top Five

Once you've chosen from all six piles, select your top five drivers from all remaining cards. Swap or discard cards easily.

4
Rank Top Drivers

Rank your selected cards in order from most important to least important.

5
Rank Current Satisfaction

Identify how well your needs are currently being met in your role and add notes to help your manager understand your ideal experience.

6
Read Results & Discuss

A detailed breakdown with notes is emailed to you. Use these results in your 1-on-1 check-ins and add them to your Bridge Career Vision page.
