Example: Completion of the Career Compass provides you with a career profile based on your dominant characteristics. Let us assume these to be the following: Investigative, Social and Enterprising. In other words, you have an ISE Profile.

Now you must judge whether this profile suits you.

• Does it confirm the picture you have of yourself?
• Does it provide information about yourself that you weren’t aware of?
• Does the profile provided fit you as a perfectly fitted suit or dress would?
• Do you feel comfortable in it?

Now you need to research these career options to obtain the best possible fit between your ISE Profile and the requirements of a specific career. A click on any of your career options will provide full details on e.g. the demand for that career and where to study for that career in South Africa. You can also link seamlessly to the most comprehensive career database in the world (American site) for detailed career information.

Think these requirements through. Clarify them in your mind. Discuss them with your friends and parents. Is this really what you would like to do every day? Once again, it is like a suit or a dress you need to try on. Does it fit you? Do you feel comfortable in it?
