Take the STEM Compass assessmentSee the STEM Farm tracks
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 pathway personality quiz for students. Sixty activities, sixty working-style statements, ninety trait items, thirty situations, forty statements about impact. About an hour, saves as you go, and the result is a ranked list you can argue with. 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. Students choose classes, majors and programs years before they meet the daily work of a career; this shows the ordinary day first.

Questions people ask
How is a "stem pathway personality quiz for students" 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?
