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.
STEM career compatibility test for extroverts. 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. A STEM career is forty different jobs pretending to be one word. Software, data, engineering, health, research, mathematics, security and earth science each run on a different mix of the fifteen working traits the assessment measures. Nursing, physician assistant, systems analysis, industrial engineering and epidemiology run on communication and collaboration; if people energize you, they surface.

Questions people ask
How is a "stem career compatibility test for extroverts" 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.
