Oregon Vocational Interest Scales (ORVIS)

Interest is only one career input; the result does not include skills, access, pay, health, labour-market conditions, discrimination, or personal obligations.

This route calculates its result in this browser tab; answers and result text are not sent as analytics properties or written to browser storage.

Use the result

Why this route is different

A broad 92-activity inventory lets practical, creative, analytical, helping, leadership, and adventurous preferences coexist instead of forcing one job-title recommendation.

A small next step

Take the two strongest directions and find one low-cost activity that lets you test each in real work or volunteering.

Questions people ask

What is this test actually measuring?

What you say you would enjoy doing, across 92 activities. It reports eight interest directions: leadership, organisation, altruism, creativity, analysis, production, adventure and erudition. Interest is not ability, and the result says nothing about whether you would be good at any of them.

Where do the questions come from?

They are the Oregon Vocational Interest Scales, a public-domain inventory, used unchanged. That is why all 92 items can be published here as written rather than described as a private item bank.

Will it tell me which job to take?

No, and it prints no list of job titles for you. It shows which kinds of activity you said you would enjoy, which is one input into a decision that also turns on pay, location, training, the state of the market and what you can stand doing every day.

Why is there no percentile or comparison with people already in those fields?

That would need a norm sample of those people answering these same items, and this site has none. Each of the eight is measured against what this questionnaire can award, so the useful reading is which directions came out high relative to each other, for you, in this sitting.

Source and method boundary

The IPIP source publishes the 92-activity Oregon Vocational Interest Scales questionnaire used here. The result remains this site’s transparent attainable-range summary; the source does not validate this browser administration or add population norms.
