Frequently asked questions about the career test
What is a career test?
It's important to understand that sometimes a calling isn't something a person is born with or is simply handed; it has to be built through inner exploration and knowing what you want for yourself, in relation to the options out there and the future you might find in each one.
What a career guidance test mainly looks for is to explore the interests of the person taking it, while also considering which academic options are the most suitable, and the advantages and disadvantages of the working world that each career presents.
It's done through a survey that looks into what the student is after, since looking for a degree that offers a wide range of job opportunities isn't always the same as looking for a career that pays a high salary. This way, questions are asked to get at the abilities and possibilities the user has. What matters most is that the answers are honest and real.
What is a career test for?
A career test can be aimed at a wide audience that needs guidance about their studies, about their degree or about the career they should pursue. That could be teenagers in middle or high school, college students looking for a master's degree, or an adult who feels unhappy with their job and needs to move into another job market, and so needs advice on the options they should consider to avoid feeling frustrated.
Are there different types of career tests?
In the working and academic worlds, several types of tests coexist, used to see what kind of career guidance might suit the person who comes for advice.
One of the most widely used is the Chaside test. Its initials stand for the different fields where a professional can work: administration and accounting, social sciences, humanities and law, arts, health, engineering and computing, security, and exact sciences and agriculture.
Another frequently used test is the Holland codes, created by psychologist John Holland, who based his theory on a structure of six characteristics that distinguish between the interests of the person being interviewed and work environments.
CareerPersonalities uses a variety of these tests, including aptitude tests and personality tests, to find which degree or career to study. We use artificial intelligence to learn about new degrees and careers and how they fit each person's profile.
How does the career guidance test work?
Guidance works as advice on which degrees, careers or trades fit the assessment, taking into account motivation, preferences, socioeconomic and cultural background, and the job market around the different options you might consider.
The process considers two variables: an internal one that relates to the person, such as age, sociocultural and economic level, abilities and attitudes in different circumstances, and an external one, which aims to find out which factors influence the decision, such as job openings, the average salary offered in the different careers that come up, and the demand for the different jobs that emerge.
Once the answers are analyzed, the results are evaluated using Artificial Intelligence and compared with those of thousands of users who match your profile and your interests.
