My record: use your own experience; keep original score units.

Keep the version and full profile

Complete FermatMind's existing 60- or 140-question test first. Scores describe your position on this questionnaire's scale, not population percentiles, ability or employment success rates.

Connect letters to activities

R concerns practical work; I research and analysis; A creative expression; S helping and teaching; E organizing and influencing; C data, rules and order. Interests can coexist. Their order is not an ability ranking.

Keep close interests in view

Do not exclude interests based only on the three-letter code. When scores are close, high, low or flat, explore concrete activities. Do not change answers to force a preferred code.

Compare two career directions

Read about actual tasks, skills, qualifications, conditions and regional information. Interests are one input, not evidence of job competence.

Plan a small experiment

Try a course exercise, small project or conversation with someone in the field. Record both willingness to continue and practical difficulties. Gather feedback before a major decision.

Review and update

Separate enjoyment, capability and practical feasibility. One experiment does not need to settle a lifelong choice. Keep, adjust or pause a direction based on what you learn.

Take away the current record

Plain text: labels on separate lines, a blank line between fields, original values and line breaks retained. Markdown: each value appears literally in its own code block. Files use UTF-8; input line breaks use LF.

Synthetic result examples: six dimensions and Top 3

These synthetic numbers were created for teaching. They are not real user reports or your results. The 0–100 values are dimension interest scores within a form, not percentiles, ability scores, or career success rates. Do not compare numeric score differences across the 60- and 140-question forms.

Read the Top 3

Top 3 reading order: IAS

R · Realistic
42
I · Investigative
80
A · Artistic
72
S · Social
65
E · Enterprising
39
C · Conventional
36

I 80, A 72, and S 65 are the three highest dimensions here. IAS is a starting point: explore investigative, expressive, and helping activities, then read all six dimensions rather than defining yourself by one letter.

Close scores

Top 3 reading order: IAS / ISA

R · Realistic
42
I · Investigative
80
A · Artistic
72
S · Social
70
E · Enterprising
39
C · Conventional
36

A 72 and S 70 are close in this example. Read IAS alongside ISA. Do not treat the two-point gap as a definitive ordering; try an expressive task and a helping task, and record which you want to continue.

Tied scores

Top 3 reading order: IAS / ISA

R · Realistic
42
I · Investigative
80
A · Artistic
72
S · Social
72
E · Enterprising
39
C · Conventional
36

A and S both score 72, tying for second and third. IAS / ISA are two reading orders for the same interest combination. Keep both kinds of activities open for exploration.

For your own result, follow its response-quality, close-score, and tie guidance. The example gaps are not thresholds for every form. If scores are broadly similar or the result is unclear, keep several directions open and gather evidence through small tasks.

Turn your result into a career exploration

  1. Start with your report’s response-quality guidance. If it calls for caution, check it against recent experiences before choosing a direction. The synthetic examples here cannot replace your personal result.
  2. Read all six dimensions before the Top 3. Turn higher-scoring interests into activities you would like to try; keep alternative reading orders when scores are close or tied. See the three synthetic examples
  3. Open the career center, choose 2–3 roles by name or field, and open their details to read daily tasks, skills, and entry requirements. Mark tasks you want to try, are unsure about, or would avoid. A three-letter code is not an automatic match or qualification decision.
  4. Browse career guides, then choose a small project, conversation, or brief trial. Use the PDF worksheet below to record engagement, work produced, feedback, and a next step. Check skills, local qualifications, time, and financial constraints separately from interests.

If a role or guide is unavailable, try another role name or field. Missing content or an empty search does not mean a poor fit. If your personal result has not loaded, return to its page to retry or use the existing result-recovery option; do not fill missing scores with these examples.
