The Zen Test
The Zen Test: find the majors and careers that fit you
The Zen Test is a free career and major test for students aged 15 to 19. It takes about 20 minutes and turns your strengths, interests and working style into fields, majors and careers worth exploring.
What it measures
A test that starts from you, not from a list of degrees
Most students choose a subject by guessing. The Zen Test gives you something to work from: what you enjoy, how you like to work and what drives you.
Your interests and strengths
See which fields you are drawn to, and which tracks inside them suit you best.
How you like to work
See where you sit on a set of work style spectrums, so a career is more than a job title.
What motivates you
Your results name the motivators that matter most to you, so you can weigh careers by what you care about.
How it works
Three parts, about 20 minutes
Orientation
Rank the subjects you enjoy, rule out what you do not want, and answer short questions about how you work.
Exploration
Choose between pairs of options. Your choices narrow down the fields that fit you best.
Scenarios
Rank real jobs in your top areas, so your results reflect work you would want to do.
