Discover Your Path

About the Career Quiz

A scientifically-backed, 5-minute journey to discover careers that match who you are, how you work, and what you value most.

Our Philosophy

We believe career exploration should be personal, empowering, and free from limiting boxes.

Personal Discovery

Your career journey is unique. We help you understand your interests, personality, and values to find paths that truly resonate.

Exploration Over Limitation

Rather than boxing you into categories, we open doors to possibilities you might never have considered.

Growth-Oriented

We recognize that you're constantly evolving. Our approach celebrates growth and changing interests.

How It Works

Our 5-minute quiz combines multiple psychological frameworks to create your unique career profile.

Step 1: Interest Discovery
Holland Codes (RIASEC)

Six quick scenarios help us understand what genuinely excites you. Based on John Holland's career theory, we map your interests across:

Realistic (R)
Investigative (I)
Artistic (A)
Social (S)
Enterprising (E)
Conventional (C)
Step 2: Personality Insights
Big Five Personality Traits

Five trait sliders reveal how you naturally approach work and relationships. This scientifically-validated model measures:

Extraversion
Conscientiousness
Openness
Agreeableness
Neuroticism
Step 3: Values Alignment
Work Values Inventory

What matters most to you in work? We identify your top priorities from six core values:

Structure
Freedom
Helping Others
Recognition
Creativity
Risk-Taking
Step 4: Context & Adaptability
Systems Theory Framework

Your career doesn't exist in isolation. We explore how you relate to your environment across five dimensions:

Self-Awareness
Social Connections
Environmental Setting
Chance & Opportunity
Time & Growth
