Find Work-Life Alignment

What career path is the best fit for you based on your skills and personality?

Welcome to the CareerCloud Career Quiz

I'm Michael Gardon, operator of this site, host of the CareerCloud Podcast and creator at The Break - a newsletter all about "breaking work" to design a career path and work-life that works for you.

I'm one of those people who never had a calling, and didn't know what my "passion was", so I had to make my own path. My path ended up having many career pivots, 6 to be exact, all before I was 40 years old. I still don't feel like I know what I want to do when I grow up - I'm just interested in too many things!

Choosing a career, though, is about narrowing down the world to the skills, tasks and decisions that you are naturally inclined to be good at or interested in.

That is where a Career Quiz can be super helpful.

Taking The CareerCloud Career Quiz

We partnered with our friends at Innate to create a scientifically based Career Match Assessment that helps you find your ideal career fit based on your unique skills and personality.

During this assessment:

  1. Read a statement

  2. Select on a scale, how strongly you agree or disagree that the statement applies to you.

  3. Make sure to read the question, then answer instinctively and honestly before moving on.

  4. Upon finishing, you'll receive your assessment summary and breakdown of your career matches.

What You Get When Taking The Quiz

The quiz is designed to give you feedback on your personality, and match that assessment to different job that you may be innately inclined to excel in.. This part of the quiz is based on the 5 Factor Model of Personality, which has decades of research behind it and is one of the most widely accepted models used in psychology and in corporations.

THE ASSESSMENT

Based on the 5 Factors, you get an assessment summary. Here's my actual summary:

I'm loving that 'adaptive' is my primary trait. Having pivoted my career many times in unrelated fields, this seems to fit nicely.
