Work the way you think.

Inspired Minds is the neurodiversity team at Inspired HR. Start with a free, private profile of how you work best — 15 to 20 minutes, one question at a time — then screening, coaching and training whenever you want more.

No account needed to try it. Nothing reaches your employer unless you choose.

Every mind works differently. Some of us think in pictures, some in patterns, some in bursts of brilliant ideas. But most workplaces were built for just one way of thinking.

The Inspire Profiler, from Inspired Minds, helps you understand how you work best. Calm questions, one at a time. Hear them read aloud, make the text bigger, and pause whenever you like.

In fifteen to twenty minutes, you'll see your spiky profile: eight ways of working, with your peaks named as strengths — not scores to fix.

Then turn it into real support: a plain-English report, an adjustment plan, and a work passport you control. Nothing reaches your employer unless you choose.

And when you want more, our specialists are here. Start your free profile today. Let's inspire great minds together.

Peaks, not a grade.

The profile maps eight ways of working, one colour each. Your peaks are named as strengths to use. Your steadier areas come with practical things that help — never scores to fix.

  • Ideas
  • Problems
  • Talking
  • Focus
  • Reading
  • Memory
  • Planning
  • Sensory

What you keep afterwards

  • A plain-English report

    What your peaks mean, what your steadier areas need, and things that tend to help — written for you, not for a file.

  • An adjustment plan you can edit

    Practical, mostly free changes you can accept, reword or set aside, then mark as in place when they happen.

  • A work passport you control

    A short summary for your manager or HR. You choose every line they see, and you can take any line back.

People, not just a platform.

When you want more than a profile, Inspired Minds is a team of specialists, rooted in lived experience.

  • Neurodiversity screening

    Identify cognitive profile indicators for ADHD, autism, dyslexia and more, with a clear report and practical strategies. Screening, not a formal diagnosis.

  • Neurodiversity coaching

    Personalised one-to-one coaching for neurodivergent people, shaped by screening so overlapping conditions are understood and supported.

  • Neurodiversity training

    Training for staff and leaders on understanding, including and supporting neurodivergent colleagues — practical, warm and rooted in lived experience.

  • Specialist support & advice

    Hands-on advice for organisations and in-house HR teams: best practice, processes, reasonable adjustments and your legal duties.
