Why these questions?
Grounded in how work is actually described.
PathTry turns common work activities into short, low-stakes scenarios. The starting point is the O*NET OnLine occupational database and the European ESCO skills taxonomy, then each task is rewritten for students in plain language.
This is an exploration tool, not a psychological test or a prediction of future success.
