About the Assessment

The assessment is built on the RIASEC model, a career-interest framework developed by psychologist John Holland. It asks 6 questions from each of the six personality categories, 36 in total, to identify which types describe you best. Your dominant traits are then matched against a database of careers so you get suggestions that actually fit your personality, not just generic advice. It takes about 10 minutes, and you can save an in-progress attempt and resume it later.
