Dig In: Interests Assessments (Matchmaker)

There are three phases to Matchmaker. With each completed phase, your career matches and clusters will be further refined based on your answers. Once you complete even the first phase, you’ll get a strength of match rating for every career in Xello.

These assessments will have you considering how you feel about different situations. The situations can range from working with animals, to seeking out and analyzing information, to working with electricity or electronics, and many more. Their ranking choices range from Like very much to Dislike very much.

Matchmaker questions

Your answers are correlated to activities and aspects of each career in Xello. You're then given a strength of match to the careers. The results take into account both your preferences and how central each aspect is to that career.
