I can support the idea here ("people wanting to have social impact"), but the quiz is probably the worst way to direct people toward that possible.
Just show ~10 ways to have social impact, and what skills/traits/etc. are important to each.
The profiles are good. Lead with those. Give some examples.
You're not going to get people to accurately self assess their skills or risk tolerance. You might get people to see "oh, I want to get involved in party politics", and see what factors are important to success there.
(Also both UK centric and 20-year-old centric.)
- BenjaminTodd 11y agoThat's really interesting. Originally we just had a list, and I had this concern with the test. However, as the list of paths we've reviewed gets longer, it seems useful to provide a quick way of filtering it.
- rdl 11y agoMaybe break it down by decision point. You decide early on about whether you prefer individual vs. group work; you decide later on whether you prioritize personal wealth (those are just strawmen). It's the idea of answering a bunch of things all at once which seems broken to me; if you make it more a "this is how your life has progressed to this point", it's more natural and interesting. What I'd really like (being neither British nor 20something, and also not looking for advice on careers) would be links to bios/interviews with exemplars of each type of person.
- BenjaminTodd 11y agoYou can alter each of your questions responses individually to see what effect it's having on the results. We found these questions were the most useful filters when doing one-on-one advice with people, but I can see they'll probably have to change as our age range expands. We do quite a few interviews within the profiles. Is that what you have in mind?
