How the career interest finder works

Rate how much you would enjoy 36 different work activities.

The tool groups responses into six broad RIASEC-compatible interest areas.

Use the strongest areas to explore work environments and occupations, then verify education, skills, conditions, and opportunities separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this tell me which job I should choose?

No. It identifies activity interests only. Ability, values, qualifications, pay, job conditions, and local opportunities also matter.

Is this the official O*NET Interest Profiler?

No. It uses a compatible six-area structure with original Tool Nova questions and result text.

Can students take this test?

Yes. The activities are written so they can be considered without prior work experience.
