About GritWorks
Founded to empower success through science-backed assessment of the world's most important trait for achievement.
Our Story
GritWorks was founded on a simple but powerful belief: grit is the most important predictor of success, and it can be measured objectively. While talent and intelligence matter, research consistently shows that perseverance and consistency of effort are what separate high achievers from everyone else.
Our team came together to create the most comprehensive and science-based grit assessment available. We believe that by understanding your grit profile, you can unlock your potential and achieve your most ambitious goals.
Today, individuals and organizations use our assessment to make better hiring decisions, build stronger teams, and accelerate personal development.
