STEM field compatibility test for teens. 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. Each STEM field has a trait signature. Software runs on persistence and abstraction; health on empathy and composure; research on patience and inquiry; engineering on practicality and spatial reasoning. Teens carry a working profile that is already visible in how they handle pressure, ambiguity, detail and people; the assessment reads it.
