Understand and articulate your value
Superpower Assessment & 1-Year Community Membership
The Superpower Assessment finds your two superpowers, the rare things you bring to work, and builds a career strategy around them. Use it in interviews, reviews and pay talks. Plus a live 90-minute workshop and a peer group to act on it.
Try it for 30 days. If it's not for you, one email gets you a full refund, no questions asked.
What it is
- 120 questions that show patterns you can't see in yourself.
- A personal guide to your two superpowers: how rare they are, when they work against you, and a strategy to use them for a more fulfilling career.
- A year in our community, with live support. Members from Google, Deloitte and EY.
How to use it
- Know your edge. See what's rare in you, and how rare it is.
- Use it. Bring it to interviews, reviews and pay talks.
- Build on it. Shape your work around it, with peers doing the same.
The method
- A superpower is a combination of abilities that rarely show up together. Alone, each feels ordinary. Together, they set you apart.
- We compare your answers with 3,500 similar professionals to find what's rare in you. Then we build your career strategy around it.
- Backed by executive coaches, design-thinking leaders and New York Times best-selling authors, and built on 575 peer-reviewed studies.
Common questions
How is this different from CliftonStrengths?
CliftonStrengths ranks the same 34 strengths for everyone. Superpower compares you with 3,500+ professionals and names what's rare in you, how rare it is, and how to build your career and pay around it.
What do I do with my results?
Use them in three ways:
- Understand yourself at work, including when your superpowers work against you
- Earn more: make your case in raises, offers and promotions
- Build your career around what makes you rare
What if it doesn't help me?
No problem. We're becoming a public benefit company, here to help. Email support@pigment.is within 30 days for a full refund, no questions asked.

Frequently asked questions
Have another question? Email us at support@pigment.is and a real person will get back to you.
What is the Superpower Assessment?
It's the rare combination behind your best work, named and made usable. You answer a set of questions once, and it becomes a personalized read on your edge, your two superpowers to build on, and the patterns quietly costing you.
Who is this for?
Mid-career professionals who are great at the work and want to be seen, promoted and paid for it.
Is it still useful if I'm not changing jobs?
Definitely. Knowing your edge changes how you show up in the job you have: what you take on, how you pitch yourself, where you lean in.
Which one is right for me?
Not sure your work fits you? Start with the Career Self-Discovery Assessment. Know it fits, and want to be valued for it? 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. Each question asks you to choose between two real tendencies, so there's no right answer to game. 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 naming the rare combination behind your best work, the strengths to build on, and the anti-patterns to watch, plus a shareable card that shows people your edge. And it doesn't stop there: you also get a community of real people, live support, and free resources to keep sharpening it.
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 goes straight at your edge: the rare combination behind your best work, the one or two things to double down on, and the patterns holding you back, plus a community of real people to sharpen it with. 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 keep sharpening the edge it names.
Will this actually change anything?
86% of customers take at least one positive career action. If it doesn't help you, email us within 30 days for a full refund.
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?
$99, 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.
