How is CareerFitter’s career test different from other career placement tests, assessments, career quizzes, and career aptitude tests?

CareerFitter’s career test is focused specifically on a person’s work personality, or personality when they are working, to uncover the best career matches. This career test was designed using scientific research and has been evaluated by psychologists. CareerFitter is the only career test that incorporates aptitude and aversion assessments, career research, videos, and a real-time job search.

There are different types of tests and quizzes that may offer insight into desires, intelligence, and other aptitudes that can work in unison with CareerFitter. However, some websites claiming to provide career tests online are not backed by science or research, and some attempt to duplicate the questions of CareerFitter, but our proprietary algorithms and premium results are never duplicated.

How much time does it take to complete the career test?

Depending on the examinee, the test should take 10-20 minutes. Having some experience in a work environment of any kind will help the examinee choose an answer more easily. However, it is not required. There are no “wrong answers”. Examinees are choosing answers based on a work environment setting.

If I am unsure how to answer a question, will the wrong answer change my results?

There are four things to help assure accuracy even if you miss a question. 
1 Experts' design of the questions and answers allows you to choose your first impulse.
2 Built-in superfluity of the questions and answers means every assessment is a unique combination of questions and answers, and despite millions of tests, CareerFitter has never presented the same assessment in duplicate order.
3 Planned redundancy. Other questions will evaluate that specific area of your personality again.
4 "Question Help" is available just below many questions. Open the dropdown for further insights into the scenario of the question you are being asked.

You can take the free career test as many times as you like.

Who developed the career test?

Careerfitter developed its first online career test in 1998 and has been a leader in career tests for over 23 years. The foundation of the test was pioneered by leading psychologists using scientific research that was later expanded with extensive human resource data and ongoing assessment research and evaluations that include the participation of over one million individuals.

CareerFitter’s algorithms became CareerFitter.com (owned by CareerFitter, LLC), and version 1.0 went online in 1999 with the goal of guiding people toward their “Work Personality Strengths.” CareerFitter gives everyone access to their best career choices based on a scientific approach to assessing the foundations of their personality, specifically when they are working. This work personality assessment is then combined with further research to identify the jobs and careers that would be the best match for the examinee.

How do career personality tests help?

As psychologists study the human psyche, research continues to expand and be more specified and is not limited to our general psychological makeup. It also extends to our unique abilities and design. It helps gauge a person's personality and how they react to certain work situations and working environments. This allows psychologists to better suggest the careers and jobs that best suit the subjects.

Personality tests for jobs are types of tests that have a psychological basis. They help one study their own or their employees’ personality design, interests, and abilities. They do so through a set of verified questions, the answers to which are carefully researched. The results are usually in a range of data indicating a person's inclination towards certain dominant personality traits and interests. They do not aim to give a solid black-and-white picture of a subject's interests or traits.

To put it more concisely, these assessments help you:

  • Discover your personality type while working
  • Explore your interests
  • Explore the skills needed for a career
  • Prepare for a career in which you are likely to succeed
  • List your strengths and abilities on your resume

What is the best type of career test for me?

The best assessments are backed by scientific research and have been validated in studies and schools of psychology. Since there are many types of career tests, the first step is determining what you would like to discover about yourself. Then choose the test or assessment that focuses on the type of results you are seeking.

This career test assesses your work personality. It asks psychologically designed questions to learn more about the dimensions of your personality when you are working. It then uses research to understand how the unique combination of your personality traits fit together to determine the specific careers and jobs that would give you the highest satisfaction.
