The Praanidhi Human Performance Index
Six systems.
One clearer picture of you.
Human performance is more than energy, focus or productivity alone. PHPI is a structured way to reflect on the Six Human Performance Systems, so you and a practitioner can identify strengths, understand challenges and choose a direction together.
Before choosing a programme, understand the person.
Two people may share the same goal and still need very different kinds of support. One may be struggling with recovery and everyday energy. Another may have physical vitality but feel mentally stretched or disconnected from what matters.
PHPI makes room for the full picture, so the conversation begins with the person rather than a preset package.
It is a starting point for reflection and practitioner discussion — not a medical diagnosis, and not a verdict on anyone’s potential.
Performance is not one thing.
The Six Human Performance Systems are considered one at a time, because doing well in one rarely predicts another. Each is a different lens on the same person.
01
Physical Vitality
Energy, movement and restoration.
How well does my body support the life I want to lead?
02
Cognitive Excellence
Attention, clarity and learning.
Can I give my attention to what matters most?
03
Emotional Balance
Awareness, regulation and steadiness.
How do I respond when the pressure rises?
04
Purpose & Meaning
Values, direction and motivation.
Does how I live reflect what matters to me?
05
Human Connection
Relationships, belonging and support.
Do my relationships help me feel supported and connected?
06
Adaptive Performance
Flexibility, resilience and sustainable action.
How well can I adapt while remaining effective?
PHPI is a structured reflection, not a diagnostic test. The six are read separately — there is no combined score, no ranking and no clinical diagnosis.
A thoughtful assessment, then a human conversation.
- 01
Connect
Request an assessment. We explain the process and check whether PHPI suits your goals.
- 02
Reflect
Your practitioner sends you the PHPI reflection to complete privately, at your own pace, before you meet.
- 03
Understand
A practitioner reviews your six-system profile with you, in the context of your circumstances.
- 04
Act & revisit
Agree practical next steps, and revisit selected systems over time to reflect on change.
The enquiry on this website collects only your contact details and what you would like to explore. The PHPI reflection itself is arranged directly with your practitioner and is never submitted through this site.
Seeing the fuller picture
What might your profile look like?
A profile makes different themes visible in one conversation. A lower self-reported result in one system is not a diagnosis or a judgement — it may simply be the area worth exploring first.
Illustrative example only — not an actual client assessment.
- 01A clear strength
Physical Vitality
Your Body & Energy
Trains consistently and recovers well from physical effort.
What a practitioner might ask: Worth protecting — this is the thing holding the rest up at the moment.
- 02Working, but effortful
Cognitive Excellence
Your Mind & Focus
Focus holds in the morning and falls away sharply after mid-afternoon.
What a practitioner might ask: Is this attention, or is it sleep showing up as attention?
- 03Under load
Emotional Balance
Your Emotional Wellbeing
Reacting more quickly than usual and taking longer to settle afterwards.
What a practitioner might ask: What changed in the last six months, and what stopped at the same time?
- 04Steady
Purpose & Meaning
Your Direction & Purpose
Clear about what the work is for, even when the week is difficult.
What a practitioner might ask: A resource to draw on rather than a problem to solve.
- 05Thinner than it was
Human Connection
Your Relationships
Fewer unhurried conversations than a year ago; most contact is logistical.
What a practitioner might ask: Often the first thing dropped under load, and the one most missed.
- 06Worth exploring first
Adaptive Performance
Your Ability to Adapt
Little genuine recovery built into the week; rest happens only when forced.
What a practitioner might ask: Likely the limiting factor — and the most practical place to start.
What this person might do next
- Start with recovery, because it is the likely constraint on the rest.
- Protect the physical training that is already working.
- Revisit attention once sleep and recovery have had a few weeks to change.
- Put two unhurried conversations a week back into the calendar.
There is no total, no rank and no score. The six are read separately, and a system described as worth exploring is a starting point for a conversation — not a diagnosis, a severity rating or a clinical cut-off. The person above is fictional.
Frequently asked.
Is PHPI a medical or psychological diagnostic test?
No. It is a structured, practitioner-guided self-report framework for reflecting on aspects of human performance. It is not diagnostic and does not replace medical or mental health care.
Is there one overall PHPI score?
No. PHPI considers six systems independently. We do not reduce them to one number or use them to rank people.
Can I take the assessment on this website?
No. This page introduces PHPI. The reflection itself is arranged directly with your practitioner and completed privately — it is not collected through this website.
Who can see my responses?
You, and the authorised Praanidhi professionals involved in your service. Access is restricted by role. Corporate employers never automatically receive individual responses or reports.
Will it prescribe a programme automatically?
No. Your responses support a guided conversation. A practitioner considers your goals, context and preferences before suggesting anything.
Can it be repeated later?
Where your service includes it, yes. But a change in self-report is not by itself proof that a programme caused an improvement.
