STEM fields interest inventory for beginners. Module 1 of STEM Compass is an interest inventory of sixty STEM activities rated from would-hate-it to would-love-it. It is the strongest single predictor in the assessment, because love comes first and skill follows. Eight STEM fields, eight trait signatures. The assessment scores you on all fifteen traits and shows which fields are already yours before you commit to a major or a program. A beginner needs a direction before a curriculum. The assessment is the direction; the track is the curriculum.
