MAS — Monkey Alignment Survey
The MAS is a simple way of taking a snapshot of how things seem to you right now — particularly the relationship you have with your Monkey and the way the two of you appear to be working together.
It isn’t a test.
There is no pass or fail, and there are no right or wrong answers.
There are 42 statements. For each one, give yourself a score from 0 to 10.
0 means no, or not at all.
10 means yes, or completely.
Try not to overthink your answers.
Go with your first honest response — what seems true now, rather than what you think ought to be true.
If you find yourself between two numbers, go with your gut, your instinct, or whichever number came to you first.
One score gives you a snapshot.
The MAS becomes more interesting if you return and repeat it later, because a number of scores taken over time begin to give you a trend you can consider alongside what you are noticing in everyday life.
You are welcome to use the MAS as often as it seems useful.
The 42 statements should take less than ten minutes.

Thanks for completing the MAS.
You have scored a total of POINT_SCORE
Your score is out of a total possible of 420
Your result is not a grade, diagnosis, pass or fail.
It is simply a snapshot of how things seem to you today.
You may find it useful to keep your score somewhere safe and come back to the MAS again later. One score gives you a snapshot. A number of scores taken over time may begin to show you a trend.
Did the questions help you see what's going on inside you differently?
Maybe something caught your attention. Maybe one or two questions helped you look at what is happening inside you from a slightly different angle.
If you'd like to work with us to get your insides on side, click below to see what else we have for you to play with, explore or try.
