Discover Meseekna
We are a science first company committed to empowering organizations to effectively hire, train and develop their talent.
Science First
We are not merely “backed by science”, or “based in science”. We are science first. Our technology was developed by scientists and first validated within a research laboratory with double blind placebo studies. We stay true to our scientific roots every day by continually participating in research efforts to understand human cognition, publishing our work in peer-reviewed journals and showcasing our brand in a scientifically accurate way.
Changing The Real World- One Decision At A Time
Our technology can assess and improve how people make decisions. We focus on people’s decisions within the workplace, but we know that often, the biggest decisions people make are actually outside the workplace. Our training and education are applicable to all situations, allowing us to change the world- one decision at a time.

Declared as an “Enemy of the State”, August Streufert struggled to find work as all German companies and organizations were forbidden to hire him, and was persecuted by the Nazis until he was arrested and killed in a concentration camp. Siegfried and his mother survived the war, and Siegfried went on to study in the United States, earning his PhD in experimental psychology from Princeton University in 1962. Dr. Streufert is known for 16 books and 500 scientific articles. His professional books focus on complexity theory, decision making, on pharmacology and on stress effects upon competency as well as a number of other domains in the fields of human thought, health and behavior. He is known for the development of experimental and quasi-experimental simulation technology, and as the founder and first editor of the Journal of Applied Social Psychology. His work has influenced the fields of psychology, mental and physical health, pharmacology and management.
Dr. Streufert passed away in 2019, leaving behind a rich legacy of understanding human complexity and behavior.
