A structured self-assessment built on established interest, personality, and work-values frameworks — matched against 121 major profiles, 248 real BLS-sourced career paths, and current 2026 hiring-market context. Not guesswork.
John Holland's theory of vocational personality types, the same model underlying O*NET's Interest Profiler.
Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Emotional Stability — the leading trait model in personality psychology.
Achievement, Independence, Recognition, Relationships, Support, and Working Conditions.
National employment and wage figures from BLS's detailed occupation survey (OEWS), the same government dataset behind the Occupational Outlook Handbook.
National medians hide huge variation by career stage and by specialty. This deep dive breaks out starting, mid-career, and experienced-level earnings across nine career fields — medicine, technology, nursing & allied health, law, business & finance, engineering, education, creative & media, skilled trades, and public safety — not just the single BLS averages used elsewhere in this tool.
Your 30 interest items produce a 0–100 score on each of the six RIASEC types. Your top three types, in order, form your three-letter Holland Code. Each major in the database carries its own three-letter code (assigned using standard occupational-classification practice, the same approach O*NET uses to tag occupations). A major's base fit score is a weighted average of your scores on its three letters (50% / 30% / 20%, reflecting the letter order), then adjusted by up to ±10 points for overlap with your top two work values and up to ±12 points for overlap with your strongest academic subjects. The result is capped at 100.
Personality and academic-preference results are shown for self-reflection alongside your fit scores; they are not folded into the numeric ranking, since personality-major correlations are far weaker and less standardized in the research literature than interest-major correlations.
This is a structured self-report screening tool, not a diagnostic or predictive instrument, and it isn't a substitute for a licensed career counselor, school counselor, or academic advisor. Interest inventories are reasonably stable predictors of satisfaction with a field, but they say nothing about admissions competitiveness, cost, financial aid, or your specific institution's program quality. "Learning style" preferences are collected for informational context only — the learning-styles hypothesis (that matching instruction to a preferred style improves learning) is not well supported by controlled research, so this tool never uses it to affect your fit score.
