What Is the Action Planner?

The Action Planner is a built-in tool in Wonderlic Develop that helps you take your insights and turn them into focused, achievable goals.

It’s simple by design - because small, intentional actions are the building blocks of lasting growth.


Why Use the Action Planner?

Develop is about more than self-awareness - it’s about applying what you learn to grow in ways that are both realistic and aligned with your role.

The Action Planner helps you:

  • Pick a trait to focus on

  • Write a goal tied to that trait

  • Commit to one next step

You can create goals around Critical, Most Effort, or Least Effort attributes - or even align them with your Interests.


What Makes a Good Goal?

In Develop, a good goal is:

  • Behavior-based – Focused on what you’ll do, not just what you’ll achieve

  • Sustainable – Something you can repeat or build on

  • Tied to your effort profile – So it’s grounded in how you actually work

Example: "To reduce decision fatigue (Most Effort), I’ll use a template for evaluating options before key meetings."


How to Use It

  1. Go to the Action Planner tab in your Develop dashboard

  2. Choose an Attribute to focus on

  3. Add a goal and describe your next step

  4. Revisit and update your plan as you make progress


Tip: Start Small

You don’t need to set a huge goal - a simple, repeatable habit is often more effective and easier to sustain.
