Not everyone works like you
Big 5 at Work helps people understand how they naturally work, and helps leaders build teams where very different people do their best work together.
Why I built Big 5 at Work
I built Big 5 at Work for two reasons. The first is to help people gain authentic confidence, a steady pride in the way they naturally think, communicate, and lead, so they stop performing a version of themselves that doesn't fit. The second is to help leaders build higher-performing teams through emotional intelligence, by understanding how each person naturally works and designing the work so everyone can contribute.
Both start in the same place: seeing your own personality, and your colleagues', more clearly than you could on your own.

What we do
Big 5 at Work is built on the Big Five, also called the Five Factor Model, the most researched framework in personality psychology. Our assessment is adapted from the public-domain IPIP-NEO, and it uses AI to make your results about you, not about everyone who happens to share your scores.

Why it matters
Your personality is your default, not your destiny. It's where you start, and where you drift back to under pressure. When people and teams understand those defaults, differences stop feeling like problems to fix and start working as information they can use.
Lower end
StrengthStays calm under pressure.
PitfallCan miss the warning signs others see.
Higher end
StrengthSpots problems early and takes them seriously.
PitfallThe worry can be hard to switch off.
No trait is better
Every position on every trait comes with a strength and a pitfall. There is no best score and no wrong answer.
Less Stretch Fatigue
Stretching beyond your default is healthy, but staying stretched day after day wears people down. Knowing your default helps you see it coming.
Authentic confidence
Confidence lasts when it comes from understanding how you naturally think, communicate, and lead, instead of imitating someone else.
Teams need both ends
A team of calm optimists can walk into problems no one saw coming. Teams do better when the people who notice different things have room to speak.
