What the assessment measures

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 profession options for high school students. Forty options across eight families is a lot to weigh by hand. The assessment does the weighing: fit score, trait-fit breakdown, impact fit, and where each role would stretch you. A profession is a career you stay in. The assessment measures the traits that make the daily work sustainable — not whether you can pass the first class, but whether you will still want the work at year ten. High school is early enough to choose classes and late enough that a working style is already visible.
