Writing Dispositions Profile Tool

Welcome to the Writing Dispositions Profile Tool!

The tool helps you understand how you approach writing and what you might do to strengthen your writing. Writing is not just about a set of technical skills. How you feel about writing and what strategies you use to motivate yourself to write matter a lot. Accordingly, this tool considers four writing domains: academic, emotional, social, and environmental.

When you use this tool, you'll find our what your writing profile is and get tailored feedback about what to do next to develop as a writer.
