Maps how you think, decide, and work — quick and focused. Most finish in 20 minutes.
"This is the first assessment where I stopped halfway through and thought, okay, this is asking me something different."

Pigment is built by a team of leading coaches, executives, and design thinking practitioners. Between us, we bring more than a hundred years of experience, and several of us are New York Times best-selling authors. We identified 82 stable traits that are specifically professional: the ones that track with your success and happiness at work. Your profile maps you across all 82. To read exactly how it works, see our methodology.
You answer 120 questions about how you think and behave. About 20 minutes. We analyze your answers across a proprietary model of 82 professional traits to map your operating system. Then we match that system to the conditions and career paths where you do your best work. Your one-of-one profile arrives within 24 hours.
It is built entirely around you. No labels, no type you share with millions. Think of it as a guide to how you work. The kind of thing a great coach would write about you after months together. Across about 36 pages, it covers your strengths, the working style you fall into, and the work that fits you. It is not a one-time readout. It is a map you come back to whenever a career decision is in front of you.
Pigment was designed specifically to help you go from insight to action. We have built over 100 free resources for almost any career situation you will hit. Need to answer "tell me about yourself" in your own words? There is a guide for that. Deciding whether to leave your role or reshape it? There is a guide for that too. It all lives in our free Career Toolkit, ready whenever you need it.
There's some overlap. Some of what we measure is personality. But most of what we measure is stable professional traits: how you work on a team, how you decide, and how you communicate. Pigment is strictly professional, and the traits we measure correlate to your career success and happiness. We also give you a large career toolkit, so you can make career decisions from a clear read of where you thrive.
The depth comes from the data, not the clock. Your 120 answers are read across all 82 professional traits and measured against 500,000 data points from anonymized Pigment users. That is how 20 minutes can map how you think, decide, and do your best work. What a great coach might take months to see, Pigment captures in 20 minutes.
Wide versus deep. This is the full 360° picture of who you are at work, for when you're stuck, mid-transition, or in a role that doesn't fit. Superpower goes narrow: it isolates the ability that makes you rare, for when you know your direction and want to sharpen it. Most people start here, then add Superpower.
