    CareerHunter is currently only available in English, though we have plans to translate our tests into other languages in the future. Stay tuned for updates!

  • I submitted an incomplete test. Does it matter?

    Yes. Submitting an incomplete test can adversely impact your overall results and consequently generate inaccurate career matches.

  • I have a color-deficiency, will this affect my results?

    You shouldn’t have much difficulty completing our tests if you’re color-deficient. That said, our Abstract Reasoning Test requires you to identify the missing image in a sequence of shapes of different sizes and colors. While we made every effort to make these colors distinguishable to all users of the CareerHunter platform, you might have trouble identifying the correct image, and this could hinder your performance.

Results and Matches
  • Where can I see my results?

    You can view your test results immediately after you complete a test, or you can visit your Dashboard area. Your Dashboard displays all your test progress and is instantly updating as and when you complete a test.

  • Do I get a report?

    Yes. Each test comes with its own personalized report which is also downloadable, with useful insights into how you scored, and recommendations. If you have paid for Full Access, you’ll also get a complete career report, detailing all your career matches.

  • Where can I find my reports?

    Once you’ve completed any test on CareerHunter, we’ll generate a personalized report. All reports are stored in your Dashboard and can easily be downloaded to PDF.

  • What is the career report?

    The career report is a final report which you'll get once all six tests are complete. It showcases all careers from our database, how you match to each, salary prospects, job outlook, qualification requirements, and more! Only available with Full Access.

  • What is a career match?

    A career match is where we use our technology to attribute a final percentage (%) as an indication of your overall compatibility to a specific career. CareerHunter takes your interests, personality, motivations and aptitudes all into account when suggesting potential careers to you and generating the percentage using our unique algorithm.

  • When do I get my career matches?

    In order to generate your career matches, you’ll need to purchase Full Access and complete all six tests. CareerHunter will then compile all your test scores and match you against our database of careers, instantly, using our unrivaled and reliable algorithm.

  • When do I get my job and course suggestions?

    You’ll only generate more accurate course you job suggestions, along with your final career matches, once all six tests are complete and you have attained Full Access.

  • How are my matches generated?

    The results of all your six tests are compiled, processed, and put through our unique algorithm, all of which was developed by a team of psychologists, psychometricians and the experts over on CareerAddict. Our advanced technology then generates your personalized career matches according to your unique set of results.

  • What if some career matches don’t make sense?

    It is normal and expected for your final career matches to not always completely align with your professional aspirations. As CareerHunter uses your interest, personality, motivator and aptitude scores, we are looking at your overall compatibility on a psychometric level so it’s normal to expect some surprises.

    For example, let’s say you want to become a teacher. This profession generally requires an extrovert personality, but if you prefer working independently, you will receive higher career matches that are more suitable to your introvert personality, while also taking into consideration your other results.

    That being said, if you feel many of your career matches don’t make any sense, reach out to us and we’ll investigate.

  • What do my career matches indicate?

    Your career matches indicate through psychometric and educated analysis, viable career directions and options you should consider pursuing, and those which may or may not do well in. All insights are based on your current thinking cognitive state at the point of testing, so it’s advised to seek further advice and not rely solely on any test to determine your exact career goals - despite our confidence in your test results at CareerHunter.
