Self-Assessment:
Discover the Career
Path That Fits You
Your career direction is clearer than you think. Rate everyday activities by how much you would enjoy them, and we will email you the career profile that matches you best.
Choosing a career, or changing direction, is easier when you understand yourself first. The Skills Mine free career self-assessment helps learners and professionals identify their natural strengths, the kind of work that energises them and the career families where they are most likely to thrive.
There are no right or wrong answers. Choose what you really think. This is a career-exploration tool, not a formal psychological or ability test.
How it works
- Rate the activities. Rate each activity from 1 to 5.
- Get your profile by email. Add your email address and we will send you the career profile that fits you best.
- Plan your next move. Read your strengths, explore matching career families and use our free tools to take the next step.
