What people are wired for is real, measurable, and proven.

Every job runs on skill and will. The interview already covers skill, so this measures the other half: what kinds of work a person is truly wired for.

The method

A measurable map of what a person is wired for.

Decades of behavioral science sort work into six kinds. A short, validated questionnaire, the same questions in the same order for everyone, reads which kinds of work a person naturally settles on. No resume, no skills test, no age, gender, or background, just one honest signal: what someone's wired for. It tells us where they'll have momentum, never that they'll succeed, skill decides that.

Those six are the foundation. A real role runs on several at once, so we read it as nine demands, the six plus a few common combinations, so no kind of work gets missed. Then we match a person to the role on those same six.

R

Realistic

Hands-on work, building, fixing, operating

Staying hands-on while doing everything else

Long stretches of solo focus

I

Investigative

Analyzing, researching, solving complex problems

Finding new ways when the obvious path is blocked

Deciding before all the data is in

A

Artistic

Creating, designing, expressing ideas

Navigating without a clear plan

Setting your own direction

S

Social

Teaching, helping, mentoring, collaborating

Growing other people

Convincing people who don't report to you

E

Enterprising

Leading, persuading, taking initiative

Walking into disagreements instead of around them

Being 'on' for people outside the company

C

Conventional

Organizing, following systems, maintaining standards

Following the system, every time

Working within rules that slow things down

Not a personality test

You've seen the four-letter type. This is the opposite of that.

A personality test sorts everyone into one fixed box. We change the box for every role.

The evidence

The company is new. The science is older than you are.

Two findings from decades of research, and the number they add up to.

2.2xstructured vs. gut-feel

Structured beats gut-feel by 2.2x

Behavior-based interviews predict on-the-job performance more than twice as well as a good feeling across the table. We build that structure for you, so the gut stays out of it.

Interest predicts performance and tenure

When the work runs on what someone is wired for, they do it better and they stay longer. That second part is the expensive flop you're trying to avoid.

Nye et al., 2012, Perspectives on Psychological Science
up to 3xvs. resume-and-gut hiring

Stacked, up to 3x the odds

Put the structured interview and the interest read together and you are up to three times more likely to land a top performer than skim-a-CV-and-trust-your-gut hiring.

The lineage

Under the hood is the most widely studied model of work interest, tested for 70+ years. We speak plain English everywhere else on this page; this is the lineage, so you can go check our homework.

Here's what we won't claim.

We're a new company, so we won't pretend to predict performance or promise you a great hire. We show you the interest read and the evidence behind it, then leave the decision where it belongs, with you.

The missing piece

The science was always sound. The tooling wasn’t.

For about 60 years, this kind of interest research had one job: career counseling, helping a person pick a path. Researchers only seriously reconsidered it as a hiring signal around 2011.

Even then, one hard problem remained. Taking a specific, messy, real job and reading its true behavioral demands was nearly impossible to do by hand at scale. Think of a powerful telescope nobody could aim at one particular star. The lens was always sound; the mount that points it at your exact role is the part that needed the kind of AI we only have now.

So no one beat us to it. The science was just waiting for the tooling to catch up.

Fairness

Fair because of what it never asks.

The questionnaire never collects who you are, only what kind of work you're wired for. That one choice is also what makes it fairer, and easier to defend.

No demographic data, ever

We never see your age, gender, or background. There is nothing there to be biased by.

Smaller gaps than IQ-style tests

It shows smaller differences between race and gender groups than aptitude tests, so it is fairer and more defensible. One 2023 study even found that building on interests can lift team diversity and quality at the same time.

What you're wired for, not who you are

That is the whole point. It sharpens your read on skill, it does not replace it.

Fairer hiring is only the first step. The goal is teams that click, and a culture you build on purpose, not by luck.

The foundation

One science. A growing list of uses.

What a person is wired for is the constant, the engine under everything we build. Today it powers how you hire: it reads a role's real demands, shows how a candidate is wired for that work, and builds your interview questions from those demands. Tomorrow, the same science shapes how people grow, how teams are built, and how culture takes hold.

Wired for parts of it

The will is here for part of it. Much of what this role is sits right where this person's interest naturally lives, but one of the parts that truly decides it does not, so expect real self-driven momentum on most of the role and a slow fade where it matters just as much.

The closer their shape sits to the role's, the stronger the match.

Interest is the first lever of a growing culture, and you're standing on it. It's where the work has a natural grain, so we read it to aim the structured interview, not to call the outcome.

Put it to work

One read, three ways to use it before the offer goes out.

Understand the role, size up the person, walk into the interview already knowing what to ask.
