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 personality test. Personality is not a type; it is a profile. STEM Compass reports your profile on the fifteen traits STEM employers actually describe field by field, so you can see why a data scientist and a nurse are different people doing different work — and which one you already are.

Questions people ask

How is a "stem personality test" 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.
