Playing the Varied Games of Life

I had heard of the startup Knack.  The HBR discusses the process of evaluating the game of life.   And evaluate how you play this game.  Is this useful mostly for HR, or for self evaluation during your career?  Can it be adapted for different roles or industries?  This is being called ' Talent Analytics', had not heard the term itself, but we used statistics actively to understand HR decisions. The article contains a long and interesting discussion.    Also note it is an excellent example of gamification and simulation.  Both topics frequently covered here.
