The Student Identity Workbook — Middle School

Who You Are When Nobody's Watching

Middle school has a lot of opinions about who you should be. This workbook asks who you are.

This is for:

For the middle school student navigating the gap between who they are in public and who they are when nobody is watching — and needing a private place to figure it out.

You'll produce:your Your Personal Identity Map

The Name It First Experience

The Student Identity Workbook — Middle School examines the gap between who you are in the hallway and who you are when nobody is watching, and gives you a private structured space to name it before middle school finishes deciding for you. Your Personal Identity Map is yours when you finish. The output is not a personality type. It is a document about who you are.

You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.

Sample questions

  1. What part of school interests you — and what do you wish there was more of?
  2. What is something you're good at that not everyone knows about?
  3. Describe who you are when nobody's watching — the real version of you, in your own words.
  4. What do you want for yourself that you haven't told anyone yet?

Research basis
