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 occupation match for beginners. A match is a number you can explain: the weighted gap between the traits a role runs on and the traits you scored. No hidden model, no letter code. Forty STEM occupations with BLS 2024–34 growth, the traits each runs on, an ordinary day, and the path in — matched to your profile instead of listed alphabetically. A beginner needs a direction before a curriculum. The assessment is the direction; the track is the curriculum.

Questions people ask
How is a "stem occupation match for beginners" 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?
