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.

Technology career compatibility test for beginners. Compatibility is measured trait by trait: each career's score says which of your traits meet the role's demands and which the role would stretch. Technology careers run on persistence through hours of troubleshooting, abstract thinking about invisible systems, and adaptability to tools that change every year. A beginner needs a direction before a curriculum. The assessment is the direction; the track is the curriculum.
