Common questions
How is this different from CliftonStrengths?
CliftonStrengths result reorders 34 strengths for everyone. Pigment results written for action, how to shape your work around fit, and includes a community of real people to work through it with. Pigment also goes beyond strengths into energizing work, fitting roles, and team dynamics.
What do I do with my results?
Use them in three ways:
- Know yourself deeply. Pigment surfaces patterns that most people never connect on their own.
- Make the right career move. Pigment gives you data to feel clear about what to do next.
- Optimize your life. Pigment shows you small changes you can make every day for a better career.
What if it doesn't help me?

I used my report to turn down a promotion I would've dreaded every day of, and fight for a different role instead. Four months later, I'm glad I did.

Frequently asked questions
Have another question? Email us at support@pigment.is and a real person will get back to you.
What is the Career Self-Discovery Assessment?
It's a clear read on how you're actually built to work, and where that fits. You answer a set of questions once, and it becomes a personalized picture of your strengths, the roles that suit you, and the move to make next.
Who is this for?
Anyone good at their work but sensing they're in the wrong shape of it, who wants a clear read on what fits and where to go next.
Is it still useful if I'm not changing jobs?
Definitely. Most people use it to do more of what they're good at right where they are, and make the small moves that add up.
Which one is right for me?
Weighing a change or feeling stuck? Start with the Career Self-Discovery Assessment. Doing well and want your edge? Go with the Superpower Assessment. Not sure, take the one-minute recommender and we'll point you the right way.
Do I need any experience with this?
None at all. The questions meet you exactly where you are. You answer honestly, and the read does the rest.
How does it work?
Three steps: answer about 120 questions honestly, we build your personalized report from your own answers, and it lands in your inbox, ready to read on any device. Then join the Pigment community to access a group Zoom-based workshop and receive continued group support.
How long does it take?
About 20 minutes. It's quick, efficient, and expert designed to minimize self-report bias. The more honest you are, the sharper your results.
What if I close the tab partway?
No problem. Your progress saves automatically, so you can reopen your link and pick up right where you left off, on any device.
What do I get at the end?
A personalized report on how you're built to work, the roles that fit you, and your first move toward them, plus a shareable card that shows people the best way to work with you. And it doesn't stop there: you also get a community of real people, live support, and free resources to actually put it to work.
Is there support after I buy, or am I on my own?
You're never on your own. You join a community of real people, with live support and free resources to actually work your results into your career.
How do I join the community?
Once you finish, we send you an invite by email. It's where your results turn into real conversations and real moves, alongside people working through the same things.
How do I join my live debrief?
We'll email you an invite to a live session where you walk through your results with a real person and meet others doing the same. It's the fastest way to turn the report into decisions.
How do I get the most from my report?
Read it through once, sit with what surprised you, then bring it to your debrief or your community. That's where the words on the page turn into real moves.
Can I share my results?
They're yours. People send theirs to a mentor, manager, or their community to open a sharper conversation about where they're headed.
When will I get my results?
Right after you finish, straight to your inbox. If it's not there within 24 hours, check spam, then email us and we'll get it to you fast.
I paid but can't find my link.
We'll sort it out fast. Email support@pigment.is from the address you bought with, and we'll resend your access link right away.
Can I take it on my phone?
Yes. It works on your phone, tablet, or computer, and your progress follows you across all of them.
Can I retake it later?
Yes. If you'd like a fresh run, email support@pigment.is and we'll set you up with a new link.
Is this a personality test?
Some overlap, but that's where it ends. This is built for one thing, your career: how you operate at work, the roles that actually fit you, and the move to make next, plus a community of real people to work it through. Not a test you take once and file away.
Is this like Myers-Briggs or CliftonStrengths?
Only on the surface. This is built on modern research, not a model from decades ago, and it doesn't end on the page: you get real people and live support to actually work your career through.
How do I know it's accurate?
When we asked our customers, more than 800 rated it, and 96% said it nailed them. It's built entirely from your own answers, so the more honest you are, the sharper it reads.
Is it backed by real science?
Yes. Your answers score against 82 traits across nine areas of how people work, built on modern research and refined as more people take it.
Will it tell me to quit my job?
It never pushes you anywhere. It shows where your strengths fit best, so whatever you decide about your role, you're deciding with the full picture.
Can I buy it as a gift?
Yes, and it's a genuinely good one. Buy it and share the access link with whoever you have in mind.
Can my team do this together?
Yes, and it's one of the best ways to use it. Email support@pigment.is about team pricing and we'll set your group up.
I don't work on a team, still useful?
Completely. Most people use it solo to understand their own strengths and where they fit, and the community gives you people to think it through with.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your answers are only ever used to help design a great career for you, never sold, and never shared beyond Pigment.
What do you do with my responses?
They go into building your results and making the product better for you, nothing else. We never sell them.
Can I delete my data?
Anytime. Email support@pigment.is and we'll take care of your deletion request.
How much does it cost?
$79, one time. Not a subscription, nothing recurring, nothing to cancel.
Is it a subscription?
No. It's a single one-time purchase, so there's nothing recurring to cancel.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, a full one within 30 days, no questions asked. If it doesn't land for you, email us and it's done.
Do you offer discounts?
We have options for students, nonprofits, and genuine hardship. Email support@pigment.is and tell us your situation, and we'll take care of you.
