What’s It Like? 

Pairin is a survey-database and visual-representation program that allows for all-in-one access both to survey scores and to lessons for survey sub-skills. First Pairin asks students to complete a 15- to 20-minute survey that can be accessed on a smartphone, tablet or computer. The survey measures 105 soft-skill personality attributes by asking participants to choose between a “yes” or a “no” if the stated trait applies to them. Students and teachers then have access to insights and tips based on each personality attribute. Staff can then drill down to learn more about their students and where they rank on certain personality targets.
