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 match. A match is a number you can explain: the weighted gap between the traits a role runs on and the traits you scored. No hidden model, no letter code. 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.

Questions people ask

How is a "science career match" different from a personality type test?

A type test gives you a label. STEM Compass gives you a profile on fifteen working traits and eight kinds of impact, then a directional match against each career — a number you can explain, not a letter code.

Does it cost anything?

No. The full assessment is open at tienesesto.org/stem-assessment, and every result links to a STEM Farm track that starts from zero.
