When choosing a career path to pursue, there are SO many considerations. 🤔 What interests me? What major should I declare? Do I possess the necessary skills for this job? Will this job fulfill me? Do I work better with a team or individually? 

Now the real question is—how do I find the answers to all of these questions? One solution Scoir offers is PrinciplesYou!

Taking the PrinciplesYou Character Assessment

PrinciplesYou is designed for the modern workforce that you'll be joining! Your results will give you a better understanding of how you’ll fit in, how jobs truly match your tendencies, and how you can work with different personalities in different fields. The assessment takes around 30-40 minutes to complete.

Access PrinciplesYou from your Scoir dashboard, from Careers in My Colleges, or from your profile. Try to carve out about 30-40 minutes to complete it, but if you leave the assessment midway through, you can pick up where you left off.
