Each career in our database has a detailed profile built from established occupational data - covering the skills, personality traits, values, education paths, and work environment characteristics associated with that career.
We compare your quiz profile against each career's profile across all 6 dimensions, weighted by your stated priorities, to produce a fit score from 0 to 100.
A higher score means your profile aligns more closely with the traits and values associated with success and satisfaction in that career.
How the Quiz Works
A 3-layer adaptive system that gets smarter as you answer.
Core Assessment
Everyone answers ~26 questions covering all 6 categories. This gives us your baseline profile.
Targeted Follow-Up
Based on your core answers, we ask follow-up questions in areas where you showed strong signals or where we need more clarity. This makes your results more precise.
Your Priorities
Finally, you tell us what matters most to you. This lets you weight the results toward what you actually care about.
Most people finish in 5-8 minutes (29-44 questions depending on your answers)
