Take the STEM Compass assessmentSee the STEM Farm tracks
What the assessment measures
280 items in five modules — what you love to do, how you work, fifteen STEM working traits, thirty real situations, and where you want your work to land — matched against forty careers in eight families. Then a sixth module drafts your mission, vision and values in your own words. Progress saves as you go; it is free and complete today.
Science career compatibility test without a degree. Compatibility is measured trait by trait: each career's score says which of your traits meet the role's demands and which the role would stretch. Science careers reward patience with proof that takes years, inquiry into how the world works, and meticulous records. Medicine adds empathy; earth science adds field practicality. Web, software, security, data and technician roles open through certificates, apprenticeships and portfolios; the STEM Farm track assumes no degree.
