Instructions

You will see 60 short descriptions of work activities. For each one, choose how you would feel about doing that kind of work. There are no right or wrong answers — answer based on what genuinely interests you, not what you think you should like or what you are trained to do. Select 'Like' for activities you enjoy or would enjoy, 'Dislike' for activities you don't enjoy, and 'Unsure' if you really can't decide. Try not to overthink it; your first reaction is usually the most accurate.
