Find Your Superpower: 10 Questions to Uncover What You’re Brilliant At (and How to Use It)

Everyone has a superpower—often the thing you do so naturally you barely notice. Use the 10 prompts below to spot yours, sanity-check it with friends, and start applying it (without having to be “on” 24/7).

Why this matters (and why now)

The theme is superpowers. Not capes-and-comic-book stuff—your real strengths, the ones that make time vanish, draw people to you, and create outsized impact when you lean into them.

Also: you don’t have to be in “hero mode” all day. Clark Kent and Peter Parker are part of the story too. Rest, recoup, reflect.

The 10 Questions That Reveal Your Superpower

Grab a notebook (or Notes app), set a 15-minute timer, and go.

1. What comes naturally to you?

   • The thing you downplay because it feels easy (listening, explaining, noticing patterns, calming chaos).

   
   

2. What fills you with passion?

   • Not what others want for you—what actually lights you up.

   
   

3. What makes time disappear?

   • Think childhood, too. What did you do for hours without prompts?

   
   

4. What makes you “weird” (in the best way)?

   • Quirks = clues. The thing your friends lovingly tease you about.

   
   

5. What do close friends ask your advice on?

   • People vote with their questions.

   
   

6. What did you love as a kid?

   • Often the unedited version of your gifts.

   
   

7. What would you do if money didn’t matter?

   • Remove the paycheck filter; what remains?

   
   

8. Which answer keeps showing up?

   • Patterns point to power.

   
   

9. How can you boost that superpower?

   • Books, mentors, reps, micro-projects, volunteering, teaching.

   
   

10. How do you become a “superhero”?

    • You take one small step today. Then another tomorrow.

Pro tip: Tell your story to someone you trust and ask, “Which parts felt most me?” We’re surprisingly blind to our own brilliance.

A No-Stress Way to Activate It (without burning out)

• Name your alter egos. Give your “on” self and your “off” self fun labels. Both are valid.

• Create a 30-minute weekly rep. One block to use the power intentionally (mentor a student, outline a resource, lead a tiny workshop, etc.).

• Put it where it matters. Family, work, community—pick one arena and do something small but consistent.

• Ask for reflections. Post “What’s my superpower?” to your close circle or private group—you’ll be amazed by the answers.
