T.A.P. into your potential with the
Culture Compatibility Test
The Culture Compatibility Test is not a personality test. Personality constantly changes with every new experience, so mapping personality is a moving target with short-term results at best. The Culture Compatibility Test identifies your knowledge filter—how your brain prioritizes information and creates meaning. People tend to have the same knowledge filter for their entire life. Consequently, the Culture Compatibility Test offers results with long-term accuracy and lifetime value. It provides deep insights into three key areas that define how you interact with the world around you and socialize with others.
Your Title reflects your natural behavioral archetype—the tendencies you consistently exhibit in your actions and decisions. Titles like “The CEO” highlight a strong inclination toward leadership, innovation, and charting new paths. On the other hand, titles like “The Sheriff” indicate a stabilizing force, focused on maintaining order, ensuring compliance, and preserving the cultural integrity of a group or organization.
By identifying your Title, you can:
Understand the behavioral patterns you tend to repeat again and again.
Assess whether these patterns align with the demands of a specific role or the culture of a team.
Ensure compatibility between your natural tendencies and your professional or personal goals.

Your Ability defines how you process and prioritize information. This is your knowledge filter for discerning knowledge and truth. Some individuals naturally prioritize explicit, rule-based knowledge while others rely more on tacit knowledge such as intuition or ‘street smarts'.
For leaders, this filter also defines their team’s culture, determining what’s emphasized and valued in collaborative work - and what’s not. With the Culture Compatibility Test, you can:
Identify your knowledge filter and its influence on your decision-making.
Map the cultural dynamics of your team with THE HACK’s ‘culture mapping’ service.
Bridge gaps and resolve the endless conflict caused by mismatched or incompatible knowledge filters within a group.

This is how you create value. In this context, Profit refers to social capital—the net value of your interactions with others. Imagine a spreadsheet with every person you know listed in the far-left column. And to the right of each name, a series of + and – signs representing your positive and negative interactions with that person. Each + indicates a deposit into your social capital bank account with that person, while a – represents a withdrawal.
The Culture Compatibility Test helps you:
Discover the high- and low-functioning behavior patterns specific to your type.
Maximize your social capital deposits by consistently engaging in higher-functioning actions.
Avoid behaviors that lead to withdrawals, fostering stronger relationships.
