Where are you now?
Pick the closest.
Careers that need more are shown separately, not hidden.
Used to point out careers you can enter quickly.
Used only in anonymous totals by state.
We never ask for your name, email or school. Age band and gender are optional research questions at the end and never change your results. Anonymous answers help us report where career interests are heading.
How much would you enjoy doing this at work?
Go with your first reaction. Don’t worry yet about training or pay.
What would your ideal workplace be like?
Choose a side, or “No preference”. These are preferences, not abilities.

Pick up to 5 that sound most like you.
How confident are you today in these skills?

How the Skillumina Fit works
- What you’d enjoy (most weight): your 26 answers are compared with how much each occupation involves those activities, using O*NET 31.0 work activities, skills, knowledge and interest areas.
- Your workplace: your preferences are compared with each occupation’s working conditions (O*NET work context).
- How you like to work: the styles you picked are compared with the work styles each occupation calls for.
- Subjects and priorities: if you chose any, they adjust the order (pay, growth, openings: BLS Employment Projections 2025–35; human-led work: Skillumina AI change).
- Your strengths never change the order. They show which careers you could start soon and which skills to build.
The questions are Skillumina’s own, based on established career research (person–environment fit; the Theory of Work Adjustment; Social Cognitive Career Theory). This is an early version: it helps you explore and is not a validated test. Talk options through with a counselor, teacher or mentor.
