Discover the work that fits you.
This is not a pop-psychology quiz. Career Compass combines a vocational-interest assessment based on Holland's RIASEC model with a short Big Five work-style measure. Your interests drive the career exploration; personality adds context about how you may prefer to work.

Your strongest career interests
Vocational interest profile
Scaled from the 30 O*NET Mini Interest Profiler activities. Higher bars indicate activities you said you would enjoy more.
Work-style profile
Big Five traits from the 20-item Mini-IPIP. These are scale scores, not population percentiles.
Career directions to explore
These Maentae-oriented pathways are generated from your interest profile. They are exploration prompts, not occupational suitability judgments. The production version can additionally pull O*NET occupation matches through the official API.

Methodology, research basis & limitations
1) Vocational interests. The first 30 activities are the O*NET Mini Interest Profiler, which measures Holland's six RIASEC interest areas: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising and Conventional. The O*NET Interest Profiler has a long research history and a dedicated technical manual covering reliability, validity and occupation linkage.
2) Work style/personality. The second 20 items are the Mini-IPIP, a short Big Five measure developed by Donnellan, Oswald, Baird and Lucas (2006). It measures Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism and Openness. This report displays Emotional Stability, which is the inverse of Neuroticism, because it is easier to interpret positively.
3) Recommendation logic. Career and learning directions are primarily based on RIASEC interests. Big Five scores are reported separately as context about work style; they do not override the interest profile. This avoids pretending that one personality trait can determine a career. Research supports the relevance of vocational-interest fit to career choice, performance/persistence, and career satisfaction, while effects are meaningful but not deterministic.
4) No fake precision. This prototype does not present population percentiles because that would require an appropriate normative sample for the intended audience. Scores are shown as scale scores and relative strengths within the respondent's own profile.
5) Use limits. Do not use this tool for employee selection, clinical decisions, or high-stakes decisions. It is a career-exploration and learning-navigation tool.
