Dasein Coaching

TA Drivers Quiz

Discover your stress drivers

About this questionnaire

Based on the Transactional Analysis Drivers model (Kahler, 1975), this quiz reveals how you typically behave under pressure — and what kinds of situations are most likely to trigger stress.

There are no right or wrong answers. Every driver has genuine strengths alongside its challenges.

How it works

You will see 10 sets of 5 statements. For each set, rank the statements from 1 (most like you) to 5 (least like you).

Each rank can only be used once per set. Think about yourself in adult relationships and at work. Takes about 10–15 minutes.

About all five drivers

Each driver has its own logic, strengths, and shadow side. Understanding all five helps you recognise these patterns in yourself and in the people around you.

Based on the TA Drivers model (Kahler, 1975; Hay, 2009). To explore what your drivers mean in the context of your life and work, speak with your Dasein coach.
