TheNext.CEO is a leadership assessment platform that helps you understand what type of CEO or senior leader you are most naturally wired to be. Using a structured 98-question assessment, it analyzes your responses across 12 leadership dimensions and maps you to one of several CEO archetypes, providing a detailed report to support your growth, self-awareness, and decision-making as a current or aspiring leader.

TheNext.CEO is owned and operated by Arivon Labs (Arivon Labs Sdn. Bhd.), a technology company focused on building specialized software products and tools. You may occasionally see Arivon Labs referenced in legal pages, payment descriptions, or email communications.

TheNext.CEO assessment consists of 98 carefully designed scenario-style questions. Each question offers five answer options, and you select the one that feels most true for you. Behind the scenes, your answers are scored and aggregated across 12 leadership dimensions such as Vision Orientation, Execution Discipline, People Leadership, Product & Systems Thinking, Risk Appetite, Decision Style, Influence & Communication, Motivation Source, Emotional Resilience, Cognitive Agility, Ethical Compass, and Global Mindset. These dimension scores are then compared against eight CEO archetype profiles using a weighted scoring model to identify your primary and secondary archetypes.

TheNext.CEO uses a set of CEO archetypes that represent different dominant leadership patterns. While names and descriptions may evolve over time, the core set includes types such as Visionary CEO, Operator CEO, Nurturer CEO, Architect CEO, Disruptor CEO, Innovator CEO, Diplomat CEO, and Builder CEO. Your results highlight your primary archetype and often a strong secondary influence, helping you understand your natural leadership style and how you tend to show up in founder, executive, or senior leadership roles.

After completing the assessment, you first see a free summary result on the website. This includes your primary CEO archetype and a short description so you can immediately understand your high-level leadership style. If you choose to unlock the full report, you receive a detailed multi-page PDF delivered via email. The full report goes deeper into your leadership fingerprint, including dimension-by-dimension breakdowns, strengths, watch-outs, ideal team composition, decision patterns, risk profile, and personalized recommendations.

The detailed report is a one-time purchase per completed assessment. The current pricing is shown on the payment screen when you choose to unlock the full PDF. Pricing may change over time based on product improvements, but you will always see the final amount clearly before you pay.

You do not pay upfront just to take the test. First, you complete the full assessment and receive a free summary result on the site that shows your primary archetype at a high level. Only if you decide you want the full in-depth PDF report with detailed analysis and recommendations will you be asked to make a payment to unlock it.

TheNext.CEO uses a modern online payment gateway to process payments securely, typically through credit or debit cards issued by major providers. Depending on your location, you may also see local payment options offered by our payment processor. All payments are handled via encrypted connections and processed by third-party payment providers; TheNext.CEO does not store your full card details.

Most people complete the 98-question assessment in about 15–25 minutes. If you tend to reflect more deeply on each scenario, it might take a bit longer. We recommend completing it in one sitting, in a quiet environment, so that your answers are as honest and consistent as possible.

The recommended experience is to complete the assessment in one uninterrupted session to capture a consistent snapshot of your mindset. Depending on the implementation in your browser, partial progress may or may not be saved. To avoid losing your answers, we strongly suggest starting only when you have enough time to finish in a single session.

TheNext.CEO is built on a custom leadership framework that draws from research on leadership, organizational behavior, and high-level executive patterns, combined with practical experience in building and leading teams. However, it is not a clinically validated psychological instrument. It is designed for self-reflection, structured feedback, and personal insight, not for diagnosis or formal evaluation. Your results should be viewed as a starting point for reflection and discussion, not a final label or absolute truth.

No. TheNext.CEO does not provide professional, clinical, legal, financial, or career coaching advice. Our assessments, archetypes, scores, and recommendations are for self-reflection, entertainment, and general educational purposes only. They should not replace the advice of qualified professionals such as executive coaches, therapists, financial advisors, lawyers, or HR specialists. Any decisions you make on the basis of your results are your own responsibility.

Each completed assessment feeds a scoring engine that evaluates your responses to 98 questions, converts them into scores across 12 leadership dimensions, and compares them against multiple CEO archetype fingerprints. Behind the scenes, the model uses hundreds of structured parameters to interpret your answers. In a simpler terms, you can think of it as analyzing more than 900 structured data points and over 130 personal signals to generate your archetype and personalized report.

Yes, you can retake the assessment whenever you like. If you have taken the test recently, the system may remind you that you have a recent assessment so you can decide whether a new snapshot is truly needed. Many users retake TheNext.CEO after a significant career change, role shift, or a period of substantial personal growth to see how their leadership profile may have evolved.

TheNext.CEO is designed for aspiring founders, startup CEOs, business owners, senior leaders, and high-potential professionals who want a deeper understanding of their leadership style. It can also be useful for managers considering a future CEO or executive track, or for individuals curious about how they might show up in top leadership roles. It is not designed for children or for use as a clinical diagnostic tool.

TheNext.CEO works well for a wide range of stages, from aspiring founders and early-stage startup leaders to mid-level managers and seasoned executives. If you are actively leading teams, considering a founder or CEO role, or planning your long-term leadership trajectory, the insights can be especially helpful. For students or very early-career professionals, the report can serve as a forward-looking lens, but some scenarios may feel more hypothetical than experiential.

Yes. While TheNext.CEO is primarily built for individual users, organizations can encourage multiple leaders or founders to take the assessment and compare their archetypes and dimension profiles. This can spark meaningful conversations about complementary strengths, leadership gaps, and hiring priorities.
