Skillprint studies how you play games to unlock your hidden skills

Play games, unlock your inner superpowers, and win at life. That’s the idea behind Skillprint, a startup that uses advanced analytics to study how you play games and uses that information to discern your personality and what kind of jobs might be right for you.

Skillprint plans to use entertaining mobile games to help people discover their strengths in the real world. The more people play, the more insights they learn, and the more opportunities they unlock. Over time, as people build a profile in the Skillprint app (in closed beta), it will become more predictive and suggest ways to unlock their “inner superpowers” to help them get ahead in life.
