About Receptiviti

Receptiviti turns language into psychological understanding — objective, empirical measurement of how people think, feel, and communicate, grounded in 30 years of peer-reviewed science at the intersection of language and psychology. Our measurement framework is validated across 34,000 independent studies and used by organizations across AI, financial services, market research, human capital assessment, workforce culture, corporate due diligence, healthcare, and research.

 

Our history traces back to the 1990s and the seminal work of Receptiviti Co-founder, Dr. James W. Pennebaker at the University of Texas who began investigating whether analysis of writing could predict mental and physical health, personalities, social behaviours, and cognitive processes. And yes, it can.

 

Since those early days, our science has been the basis of thousands of publications covering topics such as organizational psychology, behaviour change, risk, mental health, deception, and more.

 

For years, we have worked closely with academics around the world, supporting and contributing to research, and continuously improving the informative and predictive quality of our technology platform, which is built on a foundation of decades of research by renowned experts in language, psychology, machine learning, and data science.

​

Today, Receptiviti helps leading brands, employers, and technology companies better understand the people who matter to their business — measuring how cognitive state, emotion and personality manifest and shift in real time when people interact with digital products, AI systems, surveys, social media, chatbots, call centres, and every channel where the people who matter to their business engage.
