Your Individual Report
The Individual Report you will receive after completing the assessment will include:
- Detailed descriptions of your Thinking Style, Behavioral Traits and Interests.

- A link with O*NET (Occupational Information Network from the U.S. Department of Labor) for more details on jobs, required skills, education and related careers.
Your Summary Graph
This sample graph shows how individual results are scored across thinking style, behavioral traits, and interests. We will send you your own Summary Graph once you have completed the assessment. Higher scores often point to natural strengths or stronger preferences. Lower scores usually reflect a different style, not a weakness. Your results are about fit, not right versus wrong. The best use of this report is to compare your numerical results to the career clusters you selected and the career matches provided in the individual report.
Example shown: this person selected Architecture and Construction, Business Management & Administration and Marketing as the three career clusters they wanted to test against based on the kind of work they believe they will enjoy.
