Skillsometer Quiz & Labour Market Career Comparison Tool
Skillsometer Quiz
The Skillsometer Quiz has been designed to help students who are not sure what jobs they may be interested in.
Thinking about skills, interests and the ways these can link to jobs can be a helpful first step in identifying possible future jobs.
Students take the quiz, which requires them to think about a number statements and decide what they love, are not sure about or dislike by clicking on the relevant emoji.
The statements are presented within six well established occupational categories
- Artistic
- Realistic
- Investigative
- Conventional
- Enterprising
- Social
All of which are then ranked against jobs. Once the student has completed the quiz they are given a short list of job suggestions that are most likely to be suited to their own particular skills and interests. Each job can be explored as a description is presented together with information on pay and hours. For further information about specific jobs, and to compare with other jobs, students can then use the Careerometer.
