How the Surveys Work Together


The five core surveys work together to generate a comprehensive set of occupation matches:

Ask about your comfort level with actual work tasks and activities in specific occupations. Completing these adjusts your match scores for more accurate, realistic results.


1. Learning Styles Survey


This survey is based on the concept of Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic (VAK) learning preferences, which suggests that individuals typically have a dominant way of perceiving and processing information.


The Three Key Styles:

Style

How you learn best

Visual

Seeing (diagrams, reading, watching demonstrations)

Auditory

Hearing and speaking (lectures, discussions, repeating information)

Kinesthetic (Tactile)

Physical experience, movement, and hands-on activities


💡 Key Insight: Engaging all three learning approaches whenever possible enhances memory and understanding. Play to your strengths first, then try new techniques to reinforce learning.


2. Personality Survey


This survey is based on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) framework, rooted in the work of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung.


The Four Spectrums:


  1. Extraversion (E) vs. Introversion (I): How you direct and receive energy
  2. Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N): How you take in information
  3. Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F): How you make decisions
  4. Judging (J) vs. Perceiving (P): How you approach the outside world


Outcome: The combination of your preferences across the four spectrums describes one of sixteen distinct personality types (e.g., ISTJ, ENFP).


💡 Key Insight: Personality Typing is a tool, not a test. While we may adopt all eight preferences at various times, our favored preferences define our type and help us understand our natural strengths and preferred ways of interacting with the world.


3. Interests Survey


This survey is based on the RIASEC model from Dr. John L. Holland's Theory of Vocational Choice (also known as Holland's Codes). This theory posits that career choice is an expression of personality and that most people can be categorized into one of six personality types.


The Six Occupational Themes (RIASEC):


  1. Realistic (Doers)
  2. Investigative (Thinkers)
  3. Artistic (Creators)
  4. Social (Helpers)
  5. Enterprising (Persuaders)
  6. Conventional (Organizers)


Outcome: Each theme has its own set of generalized interests and attributes. Occupations are mapped to two or three of these themes. The survey helps map your personal preferences to occupations that share similar characteristics and working environments.


4. Knowledge Survey


This survey is a direct, practical consolidation of academic learning. It organizes curriculum into 10 core subject areas (e.g., Science, Math, Arts).

  • Purpose: The survey breaks down the common themes, strands, and learning objectives within each subject area.
  • Outcome: By identifying the subjects you are most interested in learning more about, you can pinpoint specific courses, programs, and educational pathways that align with your intellectual curiosity and desire for future knowledge attainment.


5. Motivations Survey


This survey uses the framework of the Theory of Work Adjustment (TWA), developed by René Dawis, George England, and Lloyd Lofquist at the University of Minnesota. The central tenet of TWA is that work satisfaction and success are predicted by the degree to which an individual's needs and values align with the rewards and requirements of a job.

  • Core Concept: Job satisfaction occurs when the rewards of a job (e.g., independence, recognition) match the individual's motivational factors (needs/values). Job success/satisfactoriness occurs when the employer's abilities match the job's requirements.
  • Outcome: By outlining six key motivators individuals seek to satisfy, the survey helps you identify an occupation that is likely to be personally satisfying.


6. Compatibility Surveys


This survey relies on real-world occupation data sourced from organizations like the U.S. Department of Labor and the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system, a federal statistical standard used to classify workers into occupational categories.

  • Purpose: The survey focuses on the actual tasks and activities performed within over 500 different occupations.
  • Outcome: By having you evaluate specific work tasks, the Compatibility Survey provides a realistic assessment of your potential match for an occupation, helping you understand the practical day-to-day realities of a job.


Good to Know


  • You can retake any survey at any time. Your Occupation Matches update automatically when you do.
  • Compatibility Surveys are only available after all five core surveys are completed.
  • Your results are private and visible only to you, your teachers, and your school administrators.
