What's inside

Everything inside your Superpower Profile

The 120-question pre-assessment

Pigment's proprietary assessment maps how you think, make decisions, and work.

Combined with questions about where you want to go, it's quick and focused. Most complete this in under 18 minutes.

Your Strengths, by how few other people share them.

You likely sense your Strengths today. But what you take for granted might be incredibly rare in the world. This profile shows you where your greatest differentiation lies.

Strengths ranked by rarity in the Pigment Superpower Profile — Synthesis at top 2% and Decisive at top 6%

"Seeing 'Top 2%' next to a strength I'd always taken for granted completely changed how I value it."

Four central Systems that power your professional life.

A system is what happens when four or five of your strengths work together to produce something bigger than any of them alone.

This profile names your four most important ones and shows you how to create the conditions where they're used more often.

"The systems section named something so core to who I am at work. Uncanny is the only word I have."

Two Superpowers: specific abilities of yours that few others can do.

Superpowers are the rarest combinations in your entire profile. Abilities that almost never show up together in one person, but do in you.

Each comes with exact data on rarity as measured via parametric distribution across thousands of professionals.

Two Anti-patterns: where your wiring pulls that may lead to regret.

Sometimes there are paths we want to take but miss entirely. Our wiring pulls us so strongly in one direction that the other path never becomes visible.

We call these Anti-patterns: tendencies that quietly create unwanted trade-offs over a lifetime. This profile names two of yours.

"I nearly cried reading my anti-patterns, it was the hardest to read and the most useful thing in the report."

Seven Blindspots: the shadows cast by your greatest strengths.

Every great ability comes with a trade-off. This profile surfaces seven blindspots where your strengths risk sabotaging you, but only if you lack awareness of them.

A one-page Trading Card to promote healthy teams.

The best teams deeply understand what their teammates do best. Your profile comes with a concise card to share with your team.

Thriving teams trade cards so people stop guessing who should handle what and start working around each other's greatest abilities.

How it works

Built on 500k+ data points to answer: what do you bring that others can't?

  • Understand what makes you exceptional

    You likely sense you have extraordinary abilities but are too close to yourself to see and describe them. Using trait science, we make those abilities visible and specific.

  • The structure to put it to work

    Turn self-knowledge into action with prescriptive guidance on maximizing your greatest abilities. In seeking growth, navigating change, or conversations with your team.

  • Thrive in your life and career

    With a quiet confidence of your most extraordinary abilities, you build your career from within. That intrinsic knowing guides you to the best version of yourself.

You're a leader or coach building around people, not positions.

Pigment was built by leaders who believe the best teams are built around what each person does best.

WE BUILT THIS BECAUSE

Love letters

Love letters to Pigment.

  • I've always known I think differently. The Profile gave me the language to explain how. That clarity has changed how I show up in meetings.

    Lena R.
  • I've taken every assessment under the sun. This one named things about my work in an uncanny way that I'd never been able to articulate myself.

    Ben H.
  • I read it and immediately sent it to my mentor. She's been my mentor for six years and she said it articulated something even she had trouble putting to words.

    Mia S.
  • Five of us on the exec team took it. We came out of the debrief with a real way to talk about each person's contribution that wasn't squishy or hand-wavy.

    Owen P.
  • I really appreciated the team resources from Pigment. Gave us a convenient and easy way to integrate this into our team's day to day.

    Carla N.
  • It's the first profile I've gotten where my partner read it and said 'yeah, that's exactly you.' That felt like the bar.

    Henry G.
  • I talk about myself completely differently now.

    Tara J.
  • Our team uses the trading cards in meetings. Half-joking, half-real. but when you can point at someone's card and say 'this is a you thing,' it cuts an hour out of every decision.

    Marco F.
  • It took me from 'I'm pretty sure I'm good at X' to 'I am demonstrably top-tier at X.' The data-backing gave me a real confidence boost I needed.

    Devon A.
  • The anti-patterns were the surprise. I still think about them weeks later and am starting to really change how I talk to people because of them. That page alone was worth it.

    Riley K.
  • I've used this to restructure my freelance consulting projects. What's a 'hell yes' vs a soft yes is now so much more obvious.

    Jordan W.
  • I can't imagine anymore working on a team that doesn't use Pigment.

Frequently asked

Here to answer any questions you have.

Why should I invest in understanding my Superpowers?

The people who know exactly what makes them great carry a different kind of confidence.

They lead better. They make career decisions with certainty instead of doubt. They stop building on guesswork and start building on what's real. That's what this gives you.

Does this work for my industry/profession?

We measure how you think, decide, and solve problems. Those patterns are industry-agnostic. Your superpowers apply in any professional context.

How long does it take?

Most people complete the assessment in under 18 minutes. Your Superpower profile arrives 24 hours later.

What if it doesn't help me?

We built Pigment to help people see themselves more clearly. If it doesn't do that for you, send us an email within 30 days and we'll give you a full refund. No questions asked.

What makes Pigment different from other (free) career tools?

Each Pigment result is effectively a one-of-one book that helps you become the best version of yourself. We measure you on a population level using behavioral and trait science in a professional workplace context. We don't give you a personality label or a type. We find the specific trait combinations that are statistically unique to you.

I don't work on a team, can I use this?

Yes, Pigment was designed for you, the individual user. While many use Pigment on teams for extra value, it is not necessary at all.

Can I use this with my team?

Yes. Team packs start at 10 profiles and come with Manager resources for integration. Every person gets their own Superpower Profile and trading card. See the teams page for more information.

How is this different from the Career Self-Discovery Assessment?

The Career Self-Discovery is a mirror: how you work, what fits, your operating system. The Superpower Profile is a lens on the population: what's rare about you compared to other professionals. One gives you self-understanding. The other shows you your advantage. Many people take both.

What do you do with my data?

We take privacy seriously. We don't sell or share your personal data. It's used only to generate your Superpower Profile. You can request deletion anytime. See our Privacy Policy for more information.
