Xello's Personality Style assessment is the second phase of the Matchmaker assessment. After completing an additional 28 questions about their likes and dislikes, students receive a Holland Code, which they can then use to investigate and filter careers.
Their answers in the Personality Style quiz fine-tune their career matches from the first Matchmaker assessment and match them with careers that are popular for professionals with the same personality styles.
Access the Personality Style assessment
In order to begin the Personality Style assessment, students must first complete the first phase of Matchmaker.
Students can access Personality Style from two places: the student dashboard (the first page when they sign in to Xello), and from their About Me page.
Access their Personality Style results
Students can revisit and review their results at any time by clicking Personality Style on their dashboard or from their About me page.
Find out why they matched with careers
From the top of any career profile, next to the Save button, the student clicks Find out why to open a table with their answers comparing how strongly their interests match with different aspects of the career they’re viewing.
