A science-backed assessment that helps professionals rediscover purpose, reduce burnout, and realign careers with who they truly are.
The modern workplace is more demanding than at any point in history. Studies by McKinsey and Deloitte show that over 52% of professionals globally feel emotionally exhausted, 46% feel undervalued, and 43% are considering a career change in the next two years.
Unlike earlier generations who stayed in one job for decades, today’s professionals face constant pressure to upskill, perform, stay relevant, and maintain worklife balance. Remote work, blurred boundaries, rising expectations, and the fear of stagnation have created a silent psychological crisis across industries.
Worklife balance challenges are at an all-time high — according to Harvard Business Review, more than 60% of working professionals believe they spend too little time on personal wellbeing and family. When people don’t enjoy what they do, performance drops, motivation fades, and burnout sets in.
Changing careers is no longer a taboo — it’s the new normal. Professionals today switch roles, industries, and paths to find fulfilment, stability, and meaning. But without psychological insight, these transitions often become expensive, confusing, and emotionally draining.
This is where Polaris — Brain Checker’s Working Professional Assessment — becomes transformative. It helps professionals understand their work personality, motivation drivers, stress triggers, decision styles, leadership tendencies, interpersonal patterns, risk appetite, and hidden strengths, allowing them to redesign their career path with clarity and confidence.
Take Farhan, a software engineer working for a leading IT company in Hyderabad. Despite a stable career, he was deeply unhappy. Long hours in front of a screen made him feel drained, disconnected, and purposeless. Like many professionals, he assumed a “related field” — in his case, IT Sales — would offer better pay, satisfaction, and recognition.
When Farhan moved to Bengaluru, he approached Brain Checker hoping to switch into sales. But the Polaris assessment revealed a completely different truth:
Farhan was not a salesperson — he was a natural trainer.
He had strong interpersonal skills, a high expressiveness index, excellent clarity of thought, and the temperament of a mentor. He didn’t enjoy selling to people — he enjoyed teaching them, guiding them, and helping them grow.
With this new insight, we guided Farhan toward applying for an internal job posting as a Tech Trainer. Within months:
✔ He shifted from coding to coaching young engineers
✔ He rediscovered joy in his work
✔ He felt fulfilled, energised, and confident
✔ His performance improved dramatically
✔ He began adding new certifications to grow his income
✔ He finally felt he had found his true calling
This is what Polaris does — it reveals who you truly are beneath your job description and helps you align your career with your personality, strengths, and emotional needs.
A midlife turning point isn’t a breakdown — it’s a natural psychological transition, usually between ages 35–50, where individuals reassess their identity, career choices, achievements, and purpose. Research by Gallup shows that mid-career professionals are the unhappiest age group worldwide, often due to:
• Loss of passion or meaning
• Misalignment between job and personality
• Burnout and declining enthusiasm
• Feeling “stuck” or “underutilized”
• Fear of being left behind in a rapidly evolving world
Polaris helps professionals navigate this transition with clarity, reducing confusion and eliminating guesswork.
