CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this quiz measure?
It compares interest and preference patterns across several types of design work based on ratings of tasks, materials, and creative challenges. Results indicate current affinity, not skill level or likely career success.
How should items be rated?
Select the rating that best matches typical interest, not an ideal or expected answer. Use the full scale when appropriate and respond to every item.
How long does it take and how many questions are included?
It includes 20 questions and usually takes about 10 minutes. Completion time may vary with reading speed and response style.
How are results determined?
The highest score reflects the strongest current affinity among the design paths. Scores within one point are treated as a blended result.
How should results be used?
Use results as a starting point for reflection and exploration of roles, coursework, or projects. They should not be used as a selection tool or as a substitute for advising or evaluation.
