Vocational Test

Discover what motivates you, what you can contribute, and what professional opportunities are worth investigating.

If you don't know what to study, you've probably thought about taking a vocational test.

This is a different test.

He/She will not tell you what career you should study.

With only 20 questions, it will help you identify two fundamental elements to start making that decision:

What motivates you.
What skills do you believe you can bring to the table?.

After that, you'll use your results with ChatGPT to explore a third dimension:

What studies, professions, and opportunities are worth investigating?.

The goal is not for a test — or artificial intelligence — to decide for you.

The goal is to help you build your own judgment.

Before we begin: this is an self-evaluation test

This is important.

The Callersten Vocational Test is based on How you perceive your own motivations and capabilities.

Therefore, their results are not an objective assessment of your abilities or a prediction of which profession will make you happy or where you will succeed.

Your own perception is a source of information.

But it shouldn't be the only one.

When you’re finished, we recommend comparing the results with two or three people who know you well: family members, teachers, friends, or other people who have observed you in different situations.

Don't just ask them if they agree with the test.

Ask them:

What do you think really motivates me?

Which do you think are my main strengths?

In what situations have you seen me demonstrate them?

Pay special attention to the differences between How you see yourself and how others see you.

They can teach you something you haven't considered yet.

Your answers are not going to produce a sentence like:

“Your ideal profession is…”

Not even a list of courses that you are supposed to study.

Instead, we will use your answers to identify:

Your main professional motivations.

The skills that stand out the most in your self-evaluation.

The combinations between the two that are worth exploring.

And then we will use ChatGPT to transform those clues into Alternatives you might want to investigate.

Use this prompt in ChatGPT:

I took the Callersten Vocational Test as a self-evaluation tool to help me decide what to study.

My answers are scored from 1 to 5.

Copy the ANSWERS to the questions:

This test is a self-evaluation. Do not interpret the results as an objective assessment of my abilities or as a prediction of my ideal profession.

First, analyze my MOTIVATIONS by calculating the average of these dimensions:

Analysis and problem solving: Q1 + Q2
People and contribution: Q3 + Q4
Creation and innovation: Q5 + Q6
Autonomy and responsibility: Q7 + Q8
Development and life project: Q9 + Q10

Then it analyzes my SELF-ASSESSED CAPABILITIES:

Analysis and problem solving: Q11 + Q12
Communication and relationships: Q13 + Q14
Creativity: Q15 + Q16
Organization and initiative: Q17 + Q18
Learning and adaptation: Q19 + Q20.

Calculate the average of each dimension and sort them from highest to lowest.

Explain to me what my three most outstanding motivations and my three highest self-evaluated dimensions of abilities are.

If there are ties or very close results, don't force a ranking: just indicate it.

Also look for possible connections, differences, or contradictions between my motivations and my abilities. Do not interpret a low score as an inability; it simply means that that dimension has received a lower rating in this self-evaluation.

Before proposing professions, please remember that I should compare these results with two or three people who know me well.

Then ask me questions. one by one To better understand my situation, my studies, preferences, country, restrictions, and any relevant information that is not included in the test.

Only after that conversation, help me build between us. 4 and 6 alternative studies and professions sufficiently different from each other, Including some alternatives that you probably haven't considered.

For each alternative, explain to me why it is worth investigating it, what kind of training it may require, what actually happens in those professions, and what skills are usually important.

Also help me research professional opportunities, but clearly identify what information about employability, salaries, academic requirements, and the job market I need to verify from current and reliable sources in my country.

Do not invent data that you do not have.

Finally, help me compare the alternatives and identify what information I am missing before I decide.

Don't tell me what my ideal career is. Don't decide for me. Help me build my own criteria.
