STEM major interest inventory — for introverts

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. A STEM major is a four-year bet on a career you have not met yet. Find the career family that fits your profile first; the major follows from the education path on each career page. Many STEM careers reward long, uninterrupted work on one hard problem; the assessment measures collaboration and communication preference directly.

Questions people ask

How is a "stem major interest inventory for introverts" 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.

Sources. Career traits, education paths and value lines are the STEM Compass assessment library. Employment growth is U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Employment Projections 2024–2034. County economic types are USDA Economic Research Service County Typology Codes (2025); labor markets are Census commuting zones (2020). Salary is not shown anywhere in this campaign on purpose: the assessment measures fit and what the work is worth to the world.
