What Career DNA measures

Career DNA is our own scenario-based quiz — closer in spirit to MBTI than to a validated psychometric. It maps how you respond to real-world career scenarios into three signal buckets:

  • Strength cluster — technical, analytical, creative, artistic, social, leadership, scientific, verbal, mechanical, organisational
  • Personality tendency — introvert/extrovert, thinker/feeler, structured/flexible, independent/collaborative
  • Interest area — technology, healthcare, creative arts, media, social impact, education, science, environment, business, engineering, law

Combined, they classify you into one of eight archetypes: Builder, Healer, Explorer, Organiser, Creator, Persuader, Analyst, Advocate.

Honest framing

Career DNA is a fun, opinionated discovery tool — not a validated psychometric like Holland or Big-5. Use it as a conversation starter or a warm-up before the more rigorous instruments. For actual career-fit recommendations, the archetype feeds into the broader composite alongside your Holland and Big-5 scores.

Frequently asked questions

Is Career DNA scientifically validated?

No — it's a proprietary scenario-based quiz, not a peer-reviewed instrument. For validated psychometrics, take Holland, Big-5, or MBTI. Career DNA is designed as an easier entry-point that produces useful directional signals.

How long does it take?
