Using advanced machine learning, psychometrics, and career satisfaction data, we’ve reimagined what a career test can be.
Our machine learning models train on millions of data points, constantly improving the reliability and validity of our career test results.
We provide career matches based on your interests, goals, history, workplace preferences, and personality.
We continuously tweak our algorithms and update our datasets to provide industry-leading match accuracy.
We update our database of 1500+ career and degree profiles constantly to reflect the ever-changing world of work.
Each part of the career test unlocks new discoveries — insights into what makes you unique and what career paths you’ll find most fulfilling, building up to your final results.
Are you a Visionary? Scholar? Builder? Share your personality archetype and career matches with your community with one simple click.
Our career test is thorough to give you the most accurate results, not just a quick, generic snapshot. Take the test on your phone, at your desk, on a commute — and come back to it anytime. You can always pick up where you leave off.
Will the typical workplace of this career make me happy?
Whether you’re in an office or outside, working on a team or independently, your environment is a large contributor to your at-work happiness.
Will my past work and education help me get a job in this career?
Where you live, your experiences, and your education are important to take into consideration when choosing a career.
Will I find this career interesting?
Research shows that interest in a career or field is the number one predictor of career satisfaction.
Will I be good at this career?
Personality fit with a career is one of the best predictors of on-the-job performance.
We have more data and tools to optimize our career predictions than any other career test on the planet. This means your results are accurate, thorough, and nuanced, not a quick, generic snapshot like so many other career tests.

The full assessment takes about 30 minutes to complete. The thoroughness of our career test allows us to deliver personalized, nuanced results. We believe you shouldn’t base major life decisions — like your education and career — on a quick five-minute quiz. The assessment is made up of five sections and each unlocks an additional dimension of fit.
We are very good at predicting the right career matches. During the test, we ask you for your general interest in a handful of randomly selected careers, as well as how satisfied you were in any previous careers. Our models use this information to get a baseline understanding of who you are and what you're interested in, but it's also anonymously combined with all the data we have from other users on their interests, as well as their satisfaction with their previous careers and degrees. We train ever better models from this growing dataset to better identify how your interests, work and education history, and personality inform what careers you'd be a good fit in. The predictions are unique to you but validated against millions of other users.
Yes, you can reset your account to take the career test more than once. Many people take the test on a semi-regular basis to see how their interests and results evolve over time.
Our career matching system updates in real-time, meaning that whenever you give us a new piece of relevant information, we will automatically update all of our recommendations for you. As we gather more data and create better models, it's also possible that your results might change as we better understand what makes a career the right fit for someone.
Our career test items were developed by a team of I/O psychologists with years of experience in the field of psychometrics. Career data comes from numerous sources, including the the US Department of Labour’s O*Net Database, US Bureau of Statistics, UK government, CareerExplorer user data, and Sokanu’s proprietary in-house content team.
The career test platform is developed and maintained by the Sokanu team.
People start new careers at many different stages of life, and nothing about our assessment is age-specific. We’ve designed a career test that works for adults as well as high school and college students.
We don’t use race or gender when generating matches, and we work hard to make sure that our test doesn’t discriminate where relevant.
We firmly believe that you own your data, not us. We never sell your personal data to third parties and we use industry-standard best practices, making sure your private information is always encrypted and secure. We are also happy to delete your data upon request.
