What does the Careerfinder Program aptitude testing measure?


Pathfinders offers a unique and powerful aptitude assessment tool as part of our Careerfinder Program. Unlike the online interest tests and conventional skill inventories offered in schools, colleges, and online, our program guides you to discover the innate talents and abilities that you don't realize you have.

The program features a very comprehensive aptitude and personality testing instrument that measures a battery of 15 innate talents, traits, abilities and personality type. There are less than three professional organizations in the world that offer career testing at this level of sophistication, and Pathfinders is out in front.

Our Careerfinder Program measures the following natural talents, abilities and personalty traits:

  • Tribal/Maestro — Social Orientation
  • Extrovert/Introvert — Personality Characteristic
  • Spatial/Non-spatial Ability — 3D/Tangible/Conceptual Orientation
  • Diagnostic Reasoning — Problem solving
  • Analytical/Logical Reasoning — Problem solving
  • Rate of Idea Flow — Speed of idea generation and concentration
  • Visualizing Possibilities — Forethought, visual imagination
  • Visual Dexterity — Eye for detail & work time-frame horizon
  • Associative Memory — Language Memory
  • Number Memory — All-purpose Memory
  • Design Memory — Visual Memory
  • Manual Speed/Accuracy — Finger and hand agility (musicians, surgeons, dentists, etc)
  • Personality Temperament — NF, NT, SF, ST
  • Personality Type Indicator — ENFP, INFP, INTP, INTJ, etc
  • Personality Group — Introverted Maestro, Extroverted Tribal, etc
  • Career Field Ballpark — Spatial NF, Non-spatial NT, etc
What do I get from the program? The outcome of Careerfinder aptitude assessment and consultation is your natural talent profile and highly customized recommendations of several well-suited career paths for your unique combination of abilities.

This program includes a 1.5-hour talent profile consultation with a highly experienced career consultant, Anthony Spadafore, co-author of Now What? and leader in the aptitude testing field. You would work directly with Anthony to discuss your natural talent and personality mix, as well as your overall career situation and aspirations.

Our clients tell us they had lots of fun learning how to navigate the career world using their abilities and traits, and many say the finally feel completely understood. Some clients tell us stories of how their new self-knowledge gave them the confidence to optimize their relationships in other areas of their life (finding the love of your life gets easier too!). The Careerfinder Program will help you drastically narrow the swing on the compass needle to the direction that is your own true north.

Knowing what career fields you're cut out for begins with discovering your innate mix of talents and natural abilities. Work doesn't have to suck if you don't want it to. The 1 in 10 who love their work and life have one thing in common . . . they're naturals at what they do.
