This test is based on John Holland's Theory of Careers that provides an insight on how personality can influence one's career fitment. Based on your personality type find out your career preferences.In the following table there are 25 rows, each containing six adjectives. You have to go through each row and allocate 10 points among the TOP THREE ADJECTIVES that describe you as a person. Of course, the word that describes you better will be awarded higher points with the next best word receiving the second highest point, and so on. Please divide your points into whole number only (e.g. 1,2,4 etc.,) and not into decimals (e.g. 1.5, 2.5 etc.)

For example: In row 1. Adjective-3 may best describes you, then you may allot say 6 or 7 points and for the next best adjective if it is adjective-1 you allot say 3 or 2 points and for the third best adjective which can be adjective- 6 you allot say 2 or 1 point as the case maybe. Thus the row total should add up to 10 points. Only single digit number per adjective is accepted by the system.

Please fill in the answer most appropriate to the way you are or are closest to the way you feel or react to the questions. Please understand that there are no right answers or wrong answers, there are only answers appropriate to you.

Caution: Answer to only THREE options in each row. Hence ensure that you allot three scores per row which should total to 10 each per row.
