CareerHex is based on John Holland’s six interest types. His model places them on a hexagon, and types next to each other are the most alike. Studies over many years find that people whose work fits their interests tend to do a little better and stay longer. The link is real, but small.
The 30 questions are our own, written to make sense at any age, and not yet tested with real users. Sources: Holland (1959, 1997); Nye, Su, Rounds and Drasgow (2012).
Yes. The quiz, your three-letter code, your top type and your best-fit career are free. No card needed. The full report is optional: $3 CAD, one time. No subscription. No account.
No. No quiz can tell you that. It shows which kinds of work match what you like, so you know where to start looking. You still choose.
About 4 minutes. 30 everyday activities, one at a time. Go with your first reaction. There are no right or wrong answers.
No. Your result gets its own private link. Copy it to come back later, and keep it private: anyone with the link can see your result.
No. It’s for anyone choosing or changing a career, at any age: high school and college students, adults who want a change, people going back to work, and newcomers to Canada. You only say how you’d feel about everyday activities, so you don’t need work experience.
Adults pay for themselves. If you are under 18 (19 in some provinces), you need a parent or guardian’s permission to buy the report, and you must use a card or account you’re allowed to use. Payment goes through Stripe by card, or Apple Pay or Google Pay on devices that support them. We never see card numbers.
It measures what you like doing, not your ability or what you will earn. Treat it as a starting point and talk it over with people who know you.
Yes. Job Bank Canada and the O*NET® Interest Profiler have good free career quizzes, and you can use them too. Ours takes about 4 minutes. Our $3 report ranks 12 careers for you and shows why each one fits your answers, what to study in Canada, and a 90-day plan.
Yes, any time. Interests change, especially in your teens or when your life changes, so retaking it in a few months is a good idea.
Yes. The quiz and the careers work anywhere in Canada. Pay and demand are estimates for Canada, and each career links to Job Bank so you can check your own province. The study routes are written for Ontario, so check program names and entry rules with a school near you.
The six types come from John Holland’s research. Pay and demand are our own estimates, which we are still checking against Job Bank Canada. School paths were checked against official and school sources where we could find them. See our sources.
