Discover Your Home Office Type

Working from home suits some people effortlessly and challenges others in ways that are hard to put a finger on. The difference rarely comes down to a single factor - it's the combination of how you work, how you handle change, what your home setup actually offers, and whether your role even fits remote delivery in the first place. The Home Office IKIGAI framework below was built to make that combination visible.

The Four Dimensions

Your Home Office Type emerges from where four dimensions meet: your working attitude, your resilience to change, the practical reality of your home office context, and how well the content of your work suits being delivered remotely. No single dimension tells the full story on its own - it's the overlap of all four that determines how well remote or hybrid work is actually going to work for you.

Twelve Home Office Types, One Clear Direction

Where the four dimensions combine, twelve distinct Home Office Types emerge - from the Home Office Champion, who has every dimension working in their favour, to profiles where one or two gaps create real, specific friction that's worth addressing directly. Each type comes with its own combination of genuine strengths and predictable challenges. None of them are a verdict on your ability - they're a diagnosis of fit, and every one comes with a clear direction for what to do next. Knowing your type gives you, and your organization, a practical starting point: it names what's genuinely going well, flags the friction you're likely to encounter, and points to concrete steps for improving your setup, your routine, or the conversation you need to have with your employer or your team. The test below takes about five minutes and gives you your personal Home Office Type immediately, along with practical recommendations to act on.
