Why this one. Most "career quizzes" online are invented for the page you are reading them on. This is the Interest Profiler Short Form published by the U.S. Department of Labor, reproduced word for word. It sorts your interests across six areas that decades of work psychology keep finding, and it is used by public career services.

Mark the activities you would like to do

Do not think about how much education or training is needed, or how much money you would make. Only whether you would like the activity.

    Read this as a hypothesis, not a verdict. An interest profile tells you where to look, not what you are capable of or what you should do. The useful next step is testing it against real roles and real conversations.
