How does PIMPmyBOSS work?
You first describe how you prefer to work, then how your manager actually works with you. PIMPmyBOSS turns those answers into four separate readings to avoid shortcuts.
PIMPmyBOSS is not designed to label a ‘good’ manager or a ‘good’ employee. It makes preferences, lived behaviours, compatibility and relationship quality visible — while keeping those four layers separate.
Ten situations to understand how you prefer to work.
The employee profile starts with ten bipolar preferences: Framing, Check-ins, Recognition, Cooperation, Stability, Guidance, Intensity, Exploration, Meaning and Autonomy. Both ends of each scale describe legitimate ways of working.
The server-side engine then measures how close your ten answers are to each of the five archetypes — Star, Pilot, Specialist, Creative and Collective — and normalises those five proximities into 100% of your profile. The result is always a full distribution, never a single box.
Ten behaviours, described from what you actually experience.
You then answer ten situations about the management you experience with that person: Consultation, Recognition, Development, Perspective, Stimulation, Adjustment, Delegation, Direction, Follow-up and Challenge.
The wording is about your relationship with this manager. It does not ask you to diagnose personality or guess intentions.
Compatibility compares ten mirror pairs.
PIMPmyBOSS matches each employee preference with the corresponding manager behaviour. The ten gaps feed a global distance, then a compatibility index out of 100.
The index describes proximity between ways of working. It is not a probability of success, a value score or a ranking.
Respect, Support, Reliability and Consideration are not compatibility.
Four quick signals describe lived relationship quality, followed by a global 0–10 score for how the relationship feels. These remain separate from style differences.
A working-style gap may call for adjustment. A weak relationship-quality signal should not be reframed as a mere preference mismatch.
Specific insights, or nothing.
When some gaps are sufficiently marked, PIMPmyBOSS can display up to three insights tied to precise dimensions. In the active version, a gap must reach at least 3 points on the 0–10 scale.
If there is nothing specific enough to say, the product does not invent generic advice.
Frequently asked questions
Important answers should remain understandable without animation, internal jargon or dependence on a personal result.
Do I need an account to evaluate a relationship?
Yes. An account lets you resume the journey, attach the evaluation to your private history and keep your data separated from other users. No relationship or answer is created before authentication.
Do I need to redo my employee profile for every manager?
No. Once your personal profile is complete, it can be reused for new relationship evaluations. If you redo it later, older results remain linked to the exact profile version used at the time, while the compatibility shown with managers you have already evaluated is recalculated from your current profile and their latest completed evaluation.
Can I write a free-text comment?
No. The user journeys use structured responses only. PIMPmyBOSS does not add free-text comments to evaluations.
Is the evaluation free?
Yes for evaluators. Free evaluator access is a permanent product rule.
