Why don't I see passions like sports, film-making, or other common interests in the assessment?

Interest-based passions are like hobbies-activities we pursue for enjoyment. Most people don't need an assessment to know how much they like baseball or photography (interest-based passions). Issue-based passions are causes that give us a sense of fulfillment. They help fuel your purpose in life and define the legacy you leave behind, and MyPassionProfile.com is focused on helping you reality-test and page-rank your issue-based passions.
Some passions are commonly referred to as "causes" when they are actually important means (methods or tools) used to produce some other end (result or goal). For example, leadership is not an end in itself but an important means to some other end. The same could be said of politics or mentoring. If you choose one of these passions to include in your profile, we encourage you to give specific thought to the bottom line (end) you want to produce through the means you have chosen (method).
