Method, limits, and privacy
A career quiz that shows its work.
Short version: This is an exploration tool, not a psychometric diagnosis, labor-market forecast, or substitute for speaking with people who do the work.
The matching model
Twelve scenario questions contribute to eight dimensions: human connection, hands-on action, adaptive judgment, responsibility, communication, systems thinking, originality, and autonomy. Each dimension is calibrated against all choices available in this assessment. Your relative pattern is compared with hand-authored career profiles; AI resilience is shown separately and never boosts the ranking.
Each result quotes choices that contributed to its strongest matching dimensions. The careers were chosen because their core work includes at least one durable human bottleneck: physical presence, relationship and trust, high-context judgment, regulated accountability, adversarial adaptation, or coordination in changing real environments.
What the match band means
“Strong,” “promising,” and “worth exploring” are relative signals inside this curated set—not probabilities of happiness or employment. We keep the underlying number for deterministic ranking but do not present false precision. People are not printer drivers; nobody is a perfect install.
Responsible use
Use a result to generate hypotheses. Validate it by interviewing practitioners, observing the work, trying a small project, and checking local training, pay, accessibility, licensing, and demand. Job content and automation exposure vary by employer and region.
Privacy
Your assessment answers are written only to sessionStorage in this tab. They are never sent to our API. Closing the tab ends the browser session; you can also restart the assessment to clear them.
Prank links call a small API only to create or resolve a random 128-bit locator. DynamoDB stores the locator, chosen surprise-career identifier, schema version, optional non-sensitive nickname/tone, timestamps, and aggregate open/reveal counts—not quiz answers, a genuine result, or recipient identity. Configured API logs omit request bodies, paths, IP addresses, and user agents and expire after seven days.
The prank, with guardrails
After seeing a real match, someone can create a link that temporarily presents one of several unexpected careers. The recipient still completes the same assessment, the reveal is explicit, and their genuine result appears instantly without retaking anything. Every forced result is written respectfully because every listed role involves real skill and dignity. The joke is the friend’s meddling—not the work.
