Career Role Test
A traditional notion of corporate life, responsible for high degrees of job dissatisfaction and employee turnover, is the idea that there is only one way to be successful at one's career. Contrary to this perception, business school researchers and management consultants have long known that people are different and that greater success can be achieved when both employers and employees are aware of these differences and make an effort to understand them. However, while several "career indices" or "career role matrices" have been developed to this end, there has nevertheless been no career role index that has been made widely available, and for free, until now.
