Smarterer helps people take control of their professional destinies, by quantifying skills in as few as 10 questions and 120 seconds. Skills are changing faster than ever; our dynamic assessment engine and crowdsourcing tools capture what's relevant now, to deliver the freshest tests in the world. Smarterer's community has scored over 1.7 million skills. In November 2014, Pluralsight, the world’s largest eLearning library, acquired Smarterer. Together, we’re exploring what’s possible at the intersection of online learning and assessments. 

We’re a hungry crew of startup team members who believe in truth telling, freedom, and changing the world. We’re storytellers, scientists, mathematicians, and athletes, who understand that a 1980s approach to skills isn’t going to cut it in 2014.
