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 fields options for girls. Forty options across eight families is a lot to weigh by hand. The assessment does the weighing: fit score, trait-fit breakdown, impact fit, and where each role would stretch you. 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. Interest drops through high school for a reason that has nothing to do with ability: nobody connects the subject to a person she could become. This does.

Questions people ask
How is a "stem fields options for girls" 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?
