RIASEC career interest test results and scoring guide

Responses score 0 (strongly dislike) to 4 (strongly like). Add the five responses for each interest: six scores from 0 to 20. Your top three interests form a career-exploration code when their ordering is unambiguous. Ties remain visible instead of being broken arbitrarily. These are interests, not skills, job eligibility or a prediction of career success.

Make a useful comparison

Keep the mode, device and conditions consistent. Familiarity, distractions and practice affect results. Self-reported traits and interests describe your current answers; they do not establish your ability or suitability for a job. Game results describe this particular run and are not IQ or clinical scores.
