Show HN: An AI predicts your personality and blind spots from just your LinkedIn
coached.com
This tool is pretty insane. 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 feel almost too specific. You can 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and sometimes it infers too much and gets things wrong — especially when someone's LinkedIn is really sparse or outdated.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.
Would love feedback on when it misses and why.
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).
