Winner of the Talent Triangle Octalysis Prime Challenge
The Talent Triangle is an integral part of the 10K HP process.
It helps you map out your unique combination of skills — the Edge, Ring, and Base — so you can see where your competitive advantage lies and where you need to grow.
About the Creator of the Octalysis Framework

Yu-kai Chou created the Octalysis Framework after studying gamification since 2003 — years before the term entered mainstream vocabulary. As a Human-Systems Architect & Behavioral Designer, his framework has been applied by LEGO, Microsoft, Porsche, Coca-Cola, Salesforce, and MrBeast, impacting over 1.5 Billion Users.
Chou has taught the Octalysis methodology at Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Tesla, Google, BCG, and IDEO.
His work has been cited by Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Forbes, Wall Street Journal, Wired, US Department of Energy, NIST, NSF, NCBI, US Department of Education, ClinicalTrials.gov, and 3,700+ more academic publications. Explore his books here.

In Octalysis Prime, we opened a challenge for members to take on their Talent Triangle — applying the principles of the Octalysis Framework to real-world personal development.

Emerging from a group of qualifying submissions, one submission stood above the rest for its completeness, attention to detail, and identifying progress for the future:
Iñaki Ibargoyen Vergara

Congratulations Iñaki!
We are excited to see you use your talents to grow as a teacher and educator as you transform education!
In joint 3rd place, we would also like to congratulate:
Albertine & Kevin
Both of these Talent Triangles were also of a high standard, with attention to detail, a description of where the Talents came from, whether through friends, reflection, experience, or online tests. This community-driven recognition reflects Core Drive 5: Social Influence & Relatedness — learning and growing alongside peers.
Thank you all, and congratulations to the winners! This challenge exemplifies Core Drive 2: Development & Accomplishment — the intrinsic motivation to grow, master skills, and achieve meaningful goals.
