Before you start
- Answer for how you actually are, not how you would like to be. The match is only as useful as the honesty behind it.
- This suggests directions worth exploring. It will not tell you there is one objectively perfect career, because there is not.
- It is educational and informational. It is not a clinical or psychometric instrument, it is not validated for hiring or selection, and it contains no salary claims.
Your answers save as you go, so you can close this and come back later.
Methodology, limitations and validation status
What it measures. Six interest dimensions framed on the RIASEC model, eight working-style dimensions, four work values, a stated priority ordering and an environment preference. It describes preferences you reported, not aptitude, and not what you would be good at.
Where the items come from. All 71 items were written for MindScore. The interest section is organised on Holland’s RIASEC framework, which is a published theoretical model rather than a proprietary instrument; no items are taken from any published RIASEC inventory. Career families and example roles are written by MindScore in plain language.
How it is scored. Each Likert item contributes a normalised 0-1 value to its dimension, with reverse-scored items mirrored. Domain scores are the weighted mean of their items on a 0-100 scale. Career families are matched by comparing your dimension profile against each family’s published requirement profile, with a documented weighting between interest fit, working-style fit and values fit. The match score is a fit percentage, explicitly not a percentile.
Validation status. Not validated against career outcomes. No norming sample exists and no predictive validity has been established. The RIASEC framing is drawn from published theory; this implementation of it is untested.
- This measures stated preference, not ability. Enjoying investigative work is not evidence that you would be good at it, and the reverse is also true.
- Career fit depends heavily on the specific team, manager and organisation. A well-matched family can contain roles you would dislike.
- The matching rules are our own, written down and testable, but they have not been validated against real career outcomes.
- No salary, demand or growth figures are given anywhere, because we have no sourced, dated and geographically specific data to give.
- It is not a psychometric instrument and must not be used for hiring, selection or placement.
