What it measures

1 Your interests What you enjoy doing, using the six interest types of the Holland (RIASEC) model. Interests point to the kind of work that will keep you motivated.
2 Realistic (Doer) Hands-on work with tools, machines, materials, plants or animals, often outdoors.
3 Investigative (Thinker) Asking why, doing experiments, solving problems and understanding how things work.
4 Artistic (Creator) Creating, designing, writing and performing, where there is room for imagination.
5 Social (Helper) Teaching, caring for, guiding and working closely with people.
6 Enterprising (Persuader) Leading, persuading, selling and starting things, often with goals and competition.
7 Conventional (Organiser) Organising information, numbers and records accurately, with clear steps and order.
8 Your personality Your five Big Five traits, from PersonaMeter.
9 Curiosity Openness to experience: imagination, ideas, creativity and love of learning.
10 Organisation Conscientiousness: planning, self-discipline, reliability and attention to detail.
11 Social Energy Extraversion: how much energy you get from people, conversation and activity.
12 Warmth Agreeableness: kindness, trust, cooperation and concern for others.
13 Calm Emotional stability: how steady you stay under stress, pressure and setbacks.
14 Your study habits How you plan, focus, handle exams and keep going. Habits can be learned, so this part is about what to work on.
15 Focus Starting work quickly and staying with it without distractions.
16 Planning Planning study time, keeping notes organised and not leaving things to the last minute.
17 Exam confidence Staying calm and thinking clearly before and during exams.
18 Persistence Keeping going with difficult subjects and learning from mistakes.
19 What drives you Four drivers of motivation: what pulls you to learn, how much you want to do well, how clear your goals are and how much you believe effort pays off.
20 Love of learning Learning because you find things interesting, not only for marks.
21 Achievement drive Wanting to do well, set high targets and improve.
22 Goal clarity Knowing what you want to do next and how to get there.
23 Self-belief Believing that effort and practice make you better.
24 How you like to learn Your learning preferences in the VARK model. These are preferences, not abilities: everyone learns in all four ways, and using several together works best. This part is for study tips only and does not affect your career matches.
25 Visual Learning from pictures, diagrams, charts, maps and colour.
26 Aural Learning by listening, talking and discussing.
27 Read and write Learning from text: reading, notes, lists and writing.
28 Hands-on Learning by doing: practice, experiments, examples and movement.
29 Your aptitude How well you reason with numbers, logic, words, pictures and machines. These are timed questions with right answers.
30 Numerical Aptitude Working with numbers: percentages, ratios, averages, interest, time, speed and data in tables.
31 Logical Reasoning Finding patterns in series, codes and relations, and drawing conclusions that must follow.
32 Verbal and Analytical Reasoning Understanding written passages and arguments, spotting assumptions, and using words precisely.
33 Visual and Spatial Reasoning Seeing patterns in figures and picturing shapes as they turn, reflect, fold and fit together.
34 Mechanical Reasoning Understanding how everyday machines and forces work: gears, levers, pulleys, circuits, heat and motion.
