Entry Point to ABCD Mastery™

The First Dive™
Readiness Assessment

Before you can go deep, you need to know where you are. First Dive™ is a 10-question diagnostic that surfaces your current position in the DEPTH™ framework — and tells you exactly where to begin.

“You cannot go deeper than your discernment will take you.”

What First Dive™ Is

Not a Quiz. A Diagnostic.

First Dive™ is the entry point to the entire ABCD Mastery ecosystem. It is a 10-question readiness assessment — four written responses and six multiple choice — designed to give you and Coach Robert an honest picture of where you currently stand.

This is not a personality quiz. It is not a feel-good exercise. It is a structured diagnostic built around the DISCERN™ framework — designed to surface your current capacity for honest self-examination, pattern recognition, and ownership before any deeper work begins.

By the end of the assessment, you will have a score, a readiness band, and a clear recommendation for your next step in the DEPTH™ system. Every score points to the same destination — the question is how prepared you are when you arrive.

“Surface divers get wet. Deep sea divers find treasure. First Dive™ is how you find out how deep you are willing to go — and what you will need to get there.”

The assessment is not a barrier. It is the first act of principled order in the coaching relationship. Complete it honestly. Your results will reflect exactly where you are — and that is the most useful information you can have right now.

The Assessment

First Dive™ Readiness Assessment

Ten questions. Honest answers only. No right or wrong options — only where you actually are. Complete all ten questions before your results are calculated. Answer first. Score last.

Before You Begin

This assessment contains two types of questions:

Written ResponseMultiple Choice

For written responses, answer in your own words. Be specific — vague answers reveal as much as honest ones. For multiple choice, select the answer that most honestly describes your current behavior, not the one that sounds best.

&warning; Attempting to view results before completing all 10 questions will trigger an error. The scoring system is hidden until every question is answered.

Assessment Progress

0 / 10 questions answered

1
D — Diagnose Your Current Reality
Written Response

Describe the area of your life where you feel most stuck right now. Be specific about what is actually happening — not what you wish were happening.

What we are looking for: Specific language about your actual situation. Name the area, the problem, and the pattern if you can see it.
2
I — Identify the Pattern
Multiple Choice

What pattern would the people closest to you name — if they finally felt free to speak honestly about what they observe in you?

3
S — Surface the Programming
Written Response

Name one belief about yourself, leadership, or success that you received from your environment — your upbringing, culture, or experience — that you have never fully examined to see if it is actually true.

What we are looking for: A specific belief — not a general observation. Where did you get it? Is it still running in you today?
4
C — Confront Your Contribution
Written Response

Think of a recurring problem in your life or leadership — something that keeps coming back. What is your honest contribution to why it keeps happening?

What we are looking for: First-person ownership language. Not “they did” or “the situation was” — what did YOU do, avoid, or enable?
5
E — Evaluate Your Response to Feedback
Multiple Choice

The last time someone gave you feedback you rejected in the moment — and later admitted they were right — how much time passed before you acknowledged it?

6
E — Evaluate the Root Beneath the Reason
Multiple Choice

When you have quit a commitment — a goal, a program, a relationship, a standard — what was the reason underneath the reason you told yourself?

7
R — Reframe Through Growth
Multiple Choice

Think of a costly decision from your past — one you would make differently now. What does that decision reveal about who you were then compared to who you are becoming?

8
N — Name the Next Step
Written Response

You already know what needs to change. Name the specific next step you have been avoiding — and be honest about what has stopped you from taking it.

What we are looking for: A specific action — not a general aspiration. Name the step AND the actual reason you have not taken it yet.
9
DISCERN — Overall Self-Examination
Multiple Choice

The last time you discovered you were completely wrong about something important — how did you find out, and what did you do with that information?

10
DISCERN — Commitment to Transformation
Multiple Choice

When it comes to transformation — what you want most right now is…
