    Frequently Asked Questions

    Everything you need to know about our survey platform

    Do I need to take the survey every time I apply for a job?

    No. You only take the IMPACT Survey once. Your responses become part of your private, persistent IMPACT Profile and can be used across all current and future opportunities.

    Will my employer or manager see my survey answers or results?

    Absolutely not. Your responses are completely private and never shared with anyone, including employers, managers, or even you. They are only used behind the scenes to understand how your strengths align with different teams and work environments, helping you connect with places where you are most likely to thrive.

    What if I am currently employed but exploring other opportunities?

    Yes, you should take the survey. It only takes about ten minutes and is completely free, so you have nothing to lose and a lot to gain. Completing it now helps you understand the environments and types of people where you do your best work and how to grow within your current company. It also prepares you for future opportunities by identifying environments, managers, and teams that align with your strengths. Because your responses are completely private and never shared, answering honestly supports both your current development and your long-term career mobility.

    Can I see my own results after taking the survey?

    Yes and no. You'll receive a Core Personality Snapshot and a detailed Personality Profile with 3–5 key insights across six dimensions of your professional self.

    However, we don't show your exact answers to prevent over-analysis. The power of this tool lies in revealing patterns that show how people complement one another. Every trait has value—there's no right or wrong. It's about pairing professionals who bring out the best in each other to create stronger, more balanced teams.

    What if my personality or work style changes over time?

    You will have the opportunity to update your IMPACT Profile periodically. We understand that life and work are constantly changing, and your needs and priorities may shift along the way. You can share updates when your work environment changes, such as a new manager, new team members, or a new organizational structure. You can also update your profile when meaningful changes occur in your personal life. These updates help ensure that your profile continues to reflect who you are today, while your original responses remain an important reference point that represents your core traits, which tend to stay consistent even as your experiences grow and evolve.

    If I only take the survey once, how does it account for changes in my life?

    Over time, we'll send you brief questions about significant life changes—new roles, career shifts, personal milestones—and give you the chance to update your profile accordingly. These updates keep your profile current and relevant. However, your core essence—the fundamental traits that define how you work, communicate, and collaborate—remains remarkably stable over time. While circumstances change, who you are at your core doesn't. Our system captures both: the enduring patterns that make you effective and the evolving context that shapes your current needs.

    How is this different from other personality or hiring surveys?

    Most assessments are designed to screen or eliminate candidates. My Next Stage is designed to empower them. Our approach focuses on alignment, not judgment, using advanced psychometrics to understand how people, managers, and teams work best together.

    This isn't about labeling or ranking. It is about revealing the deeper patterns that shape collaboration, communication, and motivation. Your results are never shared with employers or used to disqualify you. Instead, they help identify environments and teams where your natural strengths can thrive—so you can find work that feels aligned, energizing, and sustainable.

    I am a manager. What will I gain from taking the survey?

    As a manager, your IMPACT Profile provides insight into how you lead, communicate, and make decisions. It highlights the team dynamics and work environments where you perform at your best and helps identify the types of people who will thrive working with you. These insights support better hiring decisions, stronger team cohesion, and long-term performance built on trust, balance, and complementary strengths. It is a practical way to build teams that not only deliver results but also stay engaged and motivated over time.
