About the test
This is an interest test built on Holland’s six interest types (RIASEC), using the open RIASEC Markers by Armstrong, Allison and Rounds (2008). The full version has 48 activities, eight per type. The short version is a selection of 30 of the same.
You answer on a scale from “strongly like” to “strongly dislike”. The answers are added up per area, and the code is the three areas with the highest sums. If there is a tie, you choose which fits best.
The activities are shown as they were published.

Honest about the test
The markers were developed and studied in the United States. We have not studied them for Norwegian conditions. The activities do not cover every field equally well, for example IT, security and emergency work, or religion. The code says something about what you like doing, not about what you can do, and is a starting point for a conversation, not an answer key.
