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 path for kids. A path has a start, a direction and a destination. The assessment gives the direction, the career pages the destination, and the STEM Farm track the start at zero. 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. Children show working traits early — the one who takes the appliance apart, the one who keeps a log of the plants. Parents can take the interest module with them.

Questions people ask

How is a "stem occupation path for kids" 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.
