The High-Performer Graph
The anatomy of a high performer.
Everyone has a theory about what makes top talent. We built the map — a vectorized, peer-reviewed model of the behavioral signature that separates the top performers, across 8 dimensions, grounded in a century of science.

Vectorized · the embedding map
Every person is a vector.
Each individual is an 8-dimensional behavioral vector, projected to 2D — the logic behind embedding databases. Each dot is one profile. The gold cluster is the top 18% of performers. They converge.

The signature, dimension by dimension.
The high-performer centroid against the workforce average. Three dimensions form the cross-context backbone; the rest are powerful but context-dependent. Tap a card for the science.
The receipts
Built on effect sizes, not vibes.
Every line is a corrected correlation from a published meta-analysis.
Read this honestly: top performance isn't "max every trait." Conscientiousness, emotional stability and reappraisal predict performance almost everywhere — but drive, energy, collaboration and values are about fit to the role, team and culture. The map shows the signature; alignment is contextual.
