Show HN: Behavioral analysis of your career decisions from your LinkedIn
coached.comI've spent the last year building personality models + the last 9 years in the career tech space.
This new tool I made works pretty well and I wanted to share it. Just give it your LinkedIn username. It pulls your career history and in about 2 seconds, it'll notice patterns in your career story and tell you things about yourself that are weirdly specific — your blind spots, what's driving your decisions, stuff you've probably felt but never had anyone put into words.
A big unlock I had (and why I built this) was that your career trajectory says SO MUCH about you as a person. Not your job titles, but the pattern of decisions. When you moved, when you stayed, what you kept going back to. That trail is basically a personality fingerprint.
The AI is pulling threads together across a full career history in a way that would take a coach hours to piece together. I think there's something genuinely powerful about having enough context (a full career arc) combined with enough research (our trait model) to say things that are helpful -- like you sat down with a real career strategist who gave you some cold, hard career therapy.
You can also check out our trait model through our main personality test - it's grounded in occupational psychology and psychometric research - it's kinda like the Big Five, Myers-Briggs, etc.
This tool only works on public LinkedIn profiles, and sometimes it infers too much and gets things wrong — especially when someone's LinkedIn is really sparse or outdated. But it'll give you goosebumps if it gets you right.
No LinkedIn sign up/permissions required (just your profile username), free for now (AI costs are not trivial but will cover costs up unless in the unlikely event a lot of people do it and my limits are hit).
Would love feedback on what you think :-)
