Product Details
This cutting-edge assessment provides you with a report about your vocational personality that can be used to direct your career exploration and decision-making.

Therefore, this assessment is more precise and more powerful in terms of delineating career paths you should consider.
You will be asked to respond to questions about a variety of activities, and the final report will show your results in terms of six vocational personality types and occupational recommendations. This assessment is developed based on Holland’s model of vocational personality (RIASEC), interest formation and consequence model (InFoCo), and the dual-process theory of career decision making (DTC), which have received extensive research support.

FAQs
Can I choose my career path based on my vocational personality?
Yes. Research has shown that the fit between your vocational personality and occupation predicts your vocational performance and satisfaction. However, it is important to remember that career exploration and decision-making involves other factors, such as family situations and financial concern, and you need to holistically consider them and sometimes even make a strategic compromise when pursuing a perfect vocational fit might make less sense at the decision-making moment.
