Yes / No / Maybe
Assessment

Binary yes/no questions tend to force premature certainty. Most meaningful coaching territory lives in the "maybe" — the places where someone knows the right answer in principle but hasn't fully committed to it in practice.

The Yes/No/Maybe format is particularly useful for readiness assessments, values clarification, and behavior audits. The MAYBE responses are the most informative ones in a session. They mark the boundary between what someone has resolved and what they are still working through. A worksheet where half the responses are MAYBE is not a sign of indecision — it is a clear map of the current work.

The steps below explain how to set up and use this assessment.
