Yep paywall as people mentioned - kind of lame, but the fake reviews they show make it seem like it'll be worthwhile so I paid. The career advice is so useless, literally one 'career option' was 'soci... See more

No cost / information transparency! They do not mention anything about costs and after spending 60 minutes answering questions, they want € 19 for the result. Plus: they’re not showing any Im... See more

I overall really liked the option list for depicting what the best career would be. As well as the easy to use format. However I was disappointed with the lack of direction in where these very specifi... See more

Hmmmm…… Wish I hadn’t paid for this

I'm not sure this test has a thorough list of possible careers. My results included teacher assistant childcare, elementary teacher and cashier. I have no interest or experience in school teaching just because answered that enjoy teaching classes and sharing knowledge.

So stupid

So stupid - it was only $5 but what a waste. Filled this out to help me get some different ideas of careers and it listed 7 different careers of teaching: elementary, kindergarten, secondary, etc. why couldn’t it just broaden one answer and write teacher….. waste of money don’t do it

Make up artist?

Make up artist? Really? #2 best match for me.
I'm a masculine, 34 year-old male with experience as a chef, carpenter, farmer and butcher.

It's not that I don't feel I'm capable of doing that, it's just outside of the plausible outcomes for my life.

I feel silly and duped for paying $10 for some of these results.

I don't mean to offend, but an actuary was on my list of results... really? I filled out "Associates degree" in the section where I was asked what level of education I'd be willing to obtain...

I want my money back.

Interesting concept

Interesting concept. Great way to get an email and 10 bucks out of me. I am currently a 45 year old entrepreneur who wanted to see if I were to start all over today if what it recommended would be interesting and the recommendations were admittedly

Great test

The first job recommended was something I wanted to do for a long time but thought of it as only a hobby, not a career path.

Waste of Time

Not really worth ten dollars. The info/feedback given is not worth the price when there are free resources available. Also, it’s a waste of time to do the test and then find out it costs money after you’ve spent time completing the questions. Wish it would have stated that the results were not free.

Kind of accurate

This test covers a wide array of traits one person could have and how that relates to specific careers a person would be good at. I took the test twice and came up with about the same results. But just because I would be good at that job because of my positive traits, doesn't mean I would realistically want to pursue that career. For example, medical assistant I could excel at but I don't want to give injections. Respiratory therapist was another recommendation but there are many tasks I would not want to do. No jobs came up that I would really be excited about doing and that's disheartening.

Career test with an unfulfilled potential.

The questions were great to answer and I really felt that it asked the right things. But what I got was of no value. I answered that I wanted to avoid installing things and not work with administration. But I got administrator and other likewise jobs recommended. Felt like what I got was not at all what I wanted based on my answers. Only 2/15 job recommendations where of interest and they weren't even high on the list. I feel like the algorithm almost completely ignored a large part of my answers and chose the list based on my "Career Personality". I would hope to not pay for this and that you perhaps fix the algorithm since the questions were really good and there's potential.
