STEM pathway finder: matched to your profile — for teens

A finder that starts with the person, not the job list. Answer the modules and get a ranked set of careers, each with growth, education path, an ordinary day, and the STEM Farm track from zero. A pathway has a start, a direction and a destination. The assessment gives the direction; the career pages give the destination; the STEM Farm track gives the start. Teens carry a working profile that is already visible in how they handle pressure, ambiguity, detail and people; the assessment reads it.

Questions people ask

How is a "stem pathway finder for teens" 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.
