“In my previous job, I knew something was missing – something about the work and something about myself that I couldn’t quite articulate. It’s only after taking the BA and understanding my Altruist profile that I realized what I needed to thrive – the bigger picture, specific context and where my work and I fit in!”

— Simran Nanwani

Use the interactive below to get a definition of each factor and how variations in the factors will affect someone’s personality.
