A short, personal look at how you operate across five cross-cultural dimensions of work: power, risk, identity, speed, messaging. Built on Dr David Livermore's PRISM framework. Hosted by Beacon Star.
PRISM is a workstyle assessment built by Dr David Livermore, founder of the Cultural Intelligence Center. It measures the cross-cultural patterns that show up in how people work, across five dimensions, each running between two opposite poles.
Most assessments label you. PRISM doesn't. It puts you somewhere on each continuum and helps you see what that means in practice, for you and for the people you work alongside.
The dimensions surface differences that often go unnamed: how decisions get made, how risk is weighed, where personal identity sits relative to the group, how fast to commit, how directly to say what you actually think. Naming them gives you language for what's happening, and a way to bridge it when it matters.
Power, Risk, Identity, Speed, Messaging. Five continuums that surface the cross-cultural patterns in how you work.
Flat · Top-down
How you relate to authority and shared decision-making. Whether you treat hierarchy as a given or something to flatten.
Tolerant · Averse
How comfortable you are acting before every detail is settled. Your appetite for ambiguity and learning by doing.
Self-oriented · Group-oriented
Where you find your footing. In your own work and judgement, or in the success and connection of the team.
Faster · Slower
How quickly you commit and how patient you are with the slower work of consensus, planning, and reflection.
Direct · Indirect
How directly you say what you actually think, and how much of the meaning you leave to context.
The 30 minutes are split across four short modules. You can move between them in any order; your progress saves automatically.
Twenty short statements anchor where you sit on each of the five dimensions. No right answers.
Two introduction videos, then a deeper look at the first two dimensions with reflection, recall, and a scenario.
Same shape (short video, recall, scenario) for the next two dimensions.
The final dimension, then a synthesis on how to use the framework. Your workstyle profile and certificate are at the end.
