What is the Kairos Assessment?

Developed by researchers and practitioners in behavioral science, the Kairos Assessment is designed to identify your cognitive preferences — the underlying patterns that shape our attention and energy.

  • It has been a brilliant resourcefor me personally, as well as for hundreds of our clients .

    David Allen
    Best Selling author Getting Things Done

  • "It's been life changing."

    Louis Kim
    VP at Hewlett Packard

  • I’ve tried a lot of assessments, but the challenge I’ve always had is what happens after you leave the session. Kairos is different—it builds self-awareness that carries into the next day, the day after that, and well into the future.

    Daniel Greenleaf
    CEO at Duly Health and Care

  • "This is the only assessment I have used in my career that provides instant clarity."

    John Michel

  • “It helps me interpret and explain the challenges a client might see when trying to implement and learn Getting Things Done. I highly recommend it.”

    Morten Røvik
    GTD Coach

  • "It gave me and my husband a language and a framework to understand each other."

    Annette Roberts
    School Director

  • "I no longer ask clients whether they want to take this or not because the value is so significant that, for me personally as a coach, it makes my job a lot easier."

    Jukka Backman
    GTD Coach

  • "This assessment actually owned me. Seeing who I am through this lens explained both the challenges I've encountered and the unique strengths I bring to my work."

    James Harvey
    Chief Medical Officer

  • "Kairos is a theory-based assessment that is really well-grounded. It strikes a lovely balance between being non-prescriptive and non-behavioral while still having good science and statistical grounding behind it."

    Robert Peake
    Productivity Consultant & Coach

Why it Matters

While there are patterns common to all of us, each of us has a different experience of the information coming to us from our surroundings, and distinct ways of expressing it. 

Handled naively, this can lead to confusion and conflict as we communicate past each other. Handled with insight into our different responses, we can build a richer view of the challenges and opportunities in front of us.
