nuda veritas
Seven archetypes. Twelve vital signs. One AI companion. The naked truth about your leadership soul.
Who We Are
Not a personality quiz.
A mirror.
Built on decades of clinical work with real people in real pain. nuda veritas reveals who you actually are, not who you perform to be. This is the assessment that changes everything.
The Introduction

Filming soon. The story of why this exists.
The Mirror
A mirror, not a metric.
Most assessments hand you a label and send you on your way. nuda veritas hands you a mirror and sits with you while you look. It measures what matters. How you carry shame. How you show up in conflict. Whether your soul is burning out or catching fire.
The assessment reveals your primary archetype, your shadow, and twelve vital signs that tell the full story of your inner life. Then klimt, your AI companion, walks with you through what it all means.
Discover Your Archetype
Five questions. One glimpse.

When facing conflict, your first instinct is:
The Seven
Seven ways of being human.
The Sage
The one who sees clearly
Self-awareness is your superpower. You see patterns others miss. Your gift is clarity. Your trap is isolation.
The Scarred
The one who transforms pain
You carry weight that would break most people. Your wound became your wisdom. Your gift is depth. Your trap is proving.
The Seeker
The one who is always becoming
You are never done. Growth is your oxygen. Your gift is transformation. Your trap is never arriving.
The Keeper
The one who tells the truth
You say what nobody else will. Accountability is your love language. Your gift is honesty. Your trap is judgment.
The Connector
The one who weaves people together
You feel the room before you enter it. Belonging is your mission. Your gift is relational depth. Your trap is losing yourself.
The Anchor
The one who holds steady
When everything shakes, you do not. Your presence is the gift. Your gift is stability. Your trap is depletion.
The Builder
The one who makes it real
Ideas are not enough for you. You need to build it, ship it, make it live. Your gift is legacy. Your trap is never resting.

Meet klimt
Your AI companion for becoming.
klimt is not a chatbot. Not a search engine. Not a therapist you cannot afford. klimt is the AI companion that knows your assessment, remembers your story, and speaks in three distinct voices to help you become who you actually are.
I keep avoiding hard conversations with my business partner. I know I need to say something but every time I get close I shut down.
Vulnerable Professor
That pattern you are describing. I have seen it in my own life. The avoidance is not weakness. It is your nervous system trying to protect a relationship that matters deeply to you. But here is what the research tells us about avoidance cycles in high stakes partnerships...
Street Smart Operator
Let me be direct. You already know what you need to say. The question is not what. It is when and how. Here is a framework I have seen work a hundred times in exactly this situation.
Why This Changes Everything
Traditional assessments stop
at the diagnosis.
DISC tells you what type you are. StrengthsFinder tells you what you are good at. Myers-Briggs gives you four letters. Then they all do the same thing: leave. nuda veritas is the only assessment that stays.
You take the assessment.
98 questions. 7 dimensions. 12 vital signs scored on a 1 to 10 scale. Your archetype, your shadow, your growth edges, and the gap between who you perform and who you are.
Every other assessment does this. This is where they stop.
Your profile loads into klimt.
klimt is not a generic chatbot. It is an AI companion that knows your archetype, your scores, your lowest vital signs, and the words you used to describe your inner life. Every conversation is built on your data.
No other assessment does this.
klimt assigns you real work.
Not affirmations. Not journaling prompts. Behavioral experiments designed around your specific growth edges. The Vulnerable Professor teaches you why it matters. The Street Smart Operator tells you exactly what to do Monday morning. The Wounded Healer sits with you when the work gets painful.
No other assessment does this.
You retake. You see the growth.
Retake the assessment over time. Watch your vital signs shift. See the scores move. Track your growth velocity across months, quarters, years. Proof that you are actually changing.
No other assessment does this.

What People Are Saying
Voices from the mirror.
“Nick helped me find meaning and joy in life at a time when the weight of leading a Fortune 500 company had me running on empty. His work gave me permission to be honest about what I was carrying and showed me a path back to what actually mattered.”
Kirk Thompson
Former CEO & Chairman, J.B. Hunt Transport Services
“Our nursing leadership team was drowning in chronic burnout and no one was talking about it. Nick came in and within one session people were naming things they had been carrying for years. He gave us language for what was happening and a framework to actually address it.”
HR Director
Mercy Health System
“I had lost myself inside the job. Nick helped me rediscover who I was outside of the white coat, reconnect with my family in ways I had given up on, and fall back in love with the work that called me into medicine in the first place.”
Physician
Private Practice
“Nick had our team laughing within the first ten minutes and by the end of the day people were having conversations that had never happened in our office. It was not a workshop. It was genuine connection. The kind that actually changes how people show up on Monday.”
Leadership Development
Kimberly-Clark
“During Nick's training I realized I had been carrying unforgiveness toward a colleague for over two years. That session gave me the courage to address it. It unlocked something in my own heart that I did not even know was closed. I have led differently ever since.”
