How it works
What we ask, and what you get back
Start with yourself. Build your Kirnova profile. You’ll set up an account first. It takes a minute, and it’s how your report stays yours.
No questionnaire will ever tell you everything about a person. It will tell you the same things about everyone you’re considering — in the same words, on the same scale — which is more than a CV, a referral or a gut feeling has ever given you.
The whole difference
Everyone answers the same questions
A CV is written by the person it describes. An interview changes shape depending on who’s in the room and what kind of day they’re having. Neither one gives you the same thing twice.
We ask everyone the same questions, described in the same words. That’s it. That’s the whole difference.
You can still disagree with what comes back. But you’ll be comparing like with like, which is more than most people ever get.
Asked twice
How you work, and how you work when it counts
Most questions about work ask you one thing. What are you like. We ask it twice.
First, how you work when nothing much is riding on it. Then, how you work when people are counting on you.
Some people answer both the same way. Others move a long way between the two. That distance is effort. It is somebody holding a shape that isn’t their natural one, and holding a shape costs something. It turns up later as tiredness, as friction, or as a good person quietly checking out.
Almost nothing on a hiring desk shows you that. A CV can’t. Forty-five minutes in a room can’t. Most people never find out it was happening to them.
Kirnova DISC is the one built around it, style by style. TIGER Core carries a reading of it too. TIGER Light asks a different set of questions and doesn’t cover this, so we don’t claim it there.
What comes back
Every reading arrives with the range it most likely sits in
You see it the same way every time.
LowerOur estimateHigher
Never one number on its own, pretending to be exact.
High is not better. Low is not worse. A brilliant analyst and a brilliant closer should not look the same, and we don’t pretend they should.
When it wobbles
If the answers don’t hold together, we say so
People answer carelessly sometimes. Straight down the page, or faster than anybody could read. So we look at how the questions were answered, not only at what was answered.
When something doesn’t hold together, the range gets wider and the report tells you why in plain words. At worst, we offer you a free second go.
We never hide the result and we never throw it away. Answer badly on purpose and watch it happen. That’s the easiest thing on this whole page to check.
No moving parts
Nothing here changes its mind about you later
The same answers always give the same result. Nothing adjusts itself between March and June.
There’s no AI in this. Nothing is learning from other people’s answers and applying it to yours. If you ever have to explain your result to the person it describes, it can be explained.
Your protection
There is no pass mark, and nothing that could become one
No pass mark. No ranking. No number that decides about somebody. And nothing sitting behind a setting that could be switched on to make one, by us or by anyone paying us.
That isn’t modesty. It’s the thing standing between you and a machine that says no. A person still makes the call, the way they always did. They just do it with more on the table than a CV and a feeling.
Doing it again
We’re careful about what we call a change
Take it twice and the two results usually land close together. That’s normal. It’s what you’d expect from anyone whose life hasn’t turned over in between.
So when something does move, we describe it in words, with no number attached. And most of the time we say we wouldn’t call it either way.
We could print a change and make it look like progress. It would read better. It wouldn’t be true.
Worth knowing
Four things to know before you start
What it isn’t for.
This is about how people work. It isn’t clinical, it isn’t medical and it isn’t legal. It doesn’t stand in for an interview, a reference or a look at somebody’s actual work. It sits beside them.
Who keeps the result.
You do, forever. It doesn’t run out on you, ever. Anything you’ve taken, you can open again whenever you want.
How long an employer can see it.
Ninety days for TIGER, a year for the rest. After that their access ends and the result is locked, not deleted. If the decision is still live, more time can be asked for. That’s about access. It’s never a claim that you changed.
Who else sees it.
Nobody, without your agreement. Before anyone pays to see anything, they’re told only that a result exists and when you took it. Never a reading, never a number, never a word of the report.
