The Career Interests Diagnostic was developed using a rigorous scientific methodology, leveraging data from numerous working adults and psychometric methodologies. As a result, the diagnostic is an efficient and accurate measure of career interests, designed to give users, teams, and organizations deep insights into the types of activities and roles an individual is drawn to based on their preferences and skills. This assessment is particularly useful for guiding career development and aligning job roles with personal fulfilment and professional growth.
