Anytime. Everywhere. Encouraging.

Discover your strengths!

Have you ever wondered what special skills you have – and how you can use them for your career? With the digital strengths sieve, you can find out exactly that.

This is how it works:
You enter your strengths, answer a few simple questions – and immediately receive exciting evaluations: from inspiring postcards and personal impulses to ideas for suitable careers.

What’s in it for you?

  • You get to know your own strengths better.

  • You receive encouraging feedback that suits you.

  • You will gain new perspectives and inspiration for school, work and everyday life.

The digital strengths screen is a coaching session that you can do anytime and anywhere – and that really helps you get to the bottom of your strengths.

Take the first step and discover what you're made of!
That's what the starch sieve is all about

Discover what you’re made of – with the starch sieve

Sometimes you don’t really know what you’re made of.
You can do a lot of things, but which of them are really typical of you?
The strengths sieve helps you to find out exactly that – step by step.
It’s like a treasure hunt for what makes you special.

💬 Not a test, but real coaching

The Strengths Sieve is not a personality test that pigeonholes you or tells you “this is who you are”. It’s the other way around: you learn to find your own answers. You are coached, not assessed.

You observe yourself, are inspired by questions and put your strengths into your own words. This is how you discover what makes you you – genuine, individual and without filters.

đŸ’Ș Your strengths – your compass

The strengths sieve revolves around four simple but powerful questions:

  • đŸ”” What are you good at?
  • 🔮 What do you love?
  • 🟠 What is needed?
  • 🟱 What is paid for?

When you answer them, your personal strengths picture emerges.
You recognize where your energy lies – and perhaps also where your path is leading you. It’s not about being perfect, but about understanding yourself better.

đŸ“± Always with you – when and where you want

The cool thing is that you can use the starch sieve anywhere.
Whether on your laptop, tablet or simply on the go on your cell phone – you can continue whenever you think of something. Your profile grows with you – bit by bit. So: cell phone out, idea in, done đŸ’Ș.

🌾 Related to the Ikigai – but with its own vibe

You may be familiar with the Ikigai – a Japanese model designed to show what gives your life meaning. The Strengths Sieve goes in a similar direction, but in its very own way. It’s not about a grand philosophy of life, but about you in real life: What you’re good at, what you love and what really makes a difference to others.

It can also be about money – but it doesn’t have to be. It’s more important that you discover what really makes you feel alive and what feels right for you.

đŸŒ± Why it’s worth it

The strengths sieve helps you to see yourself more clearly. You get:

  • more self-confidence,
  • more motivation,
  • and more direction for decisions that suit you.

And that’s what it’s all about – you.

How the starch sieve works

👉 In the picture you can see the colored circles – these are your playing field!
Every strength you enter ends up there and shows you how unique you are.

1. set language 🌍

Click on your flag at the top left đŸłïž.
This allows you to set the language in which you feel most comfortable.

2nd login – super important 🔑

Log in! This is the only way to retain your strengths even after closing the page.
Without login = everything gone 😬 → Login = everything safe đŸ’Ÿ.

Select 3rd question ❓

There are small arrows above the input field âŹ…ïžâžĄïž.
This allows you to switch between questions, e.g:

  • What are your strengths?
  • What stands out for you?
  • What have you been training/practicing for a long time?
  • What do you manage to do easily / effortlessly?
  • What are you always praised for?
  • Where do you achieve very good results?

4. enter strength ✍

Write your strength in the box, e.g. “team player”, “be creative” or “stay calm in stressful situations”.
Be relaxed: Every idea counts – whether big or small, everyday or special 💡.

5. categories & weighting 🎹

Click on the colorful mini-circles below the field to assign your strength.
Then choose a number for each category from 1ïžâƒŁ (rather low) to 5ïžâƒŁ (mega strong).

6. off to the big circle 🎯

Click on “New strength” → your strength will appear as a word in the large circle (left in the image).
The more important the strength, the larger the word.
Use the mouse to drag and drop the words to the position that suits you.

7. edit & organize 🔧

Click on a strength → you will see details and weighting (e.g. “Teamwork (3x)”).
You can change everything ✏ or delete đŸ—‘ïž.

8. use detailed view 📋

A list with all your strengths appears at the bottom.
There you can see each strength again clearly, check the weighting and edit or delete it just like in the circle.
This way you always have a complete overview of your collection.

9. discover more circles 🔄

At the bottom right you can see the other colored circles:

đŸ”” What are you good at?

🔮 What do you love?

🟠 What is needed?

🟱 What is paid for?

Click through and fill them all in one by one.

10. evaluations 🚀

In the “Evaluations” section you will find reports such as:

✹ Brief summary of your strengths

đŸ’Œ Suitable professions

đŸ§© Your challenges

Click on “Start evaluation”, enter your own notes if necessary and wait for your result.
(We use ChatGPT for this – your data is required).

11. export & save đŸ“€

With the small symbol you can save your strengths as a Word, CSV, JSON or PDF file. (PDF coming soon! 😉)

12. start everything anew đŸ”„

With the 🗑 symbol you can delete everything and start again.

💡 Tip: Enter as many strengths as you can think of.

The more you collect, the clearer your picture becomes.
The most exciting part is where the circles overlap – that’s your personal sweet spot 🏆.

💡 Tip: Assign your strengths to the other circles too

When you have found a series of thicknesses, go through each thickness again and think about whether it also fits into the other circles. (Click on the pencil – and match)

The digital starch sieve is still in the development phase. Mistakes can happen. Your feedback helps to improve the digital strengths sieve.
