How to read this report
- It measures interest, not ability. The scores show what you enjoy, based on your 30 answers. They say nothing about how clever you are.
- Match % compares careers with your mix. A higher match means the work uses more of what you enjoy. It is not a prediction of success.
- Use it to start conversations. Share it with a parent, teacher or career counsellor, and take it again next year as your interests grow.
What makes you tick
