5 minutesXello's Personality Style assessment is the second phase of the Matchmaker assessment. After completing an additional 28 questions about their likes and dislikes, students receive a Holland Code, which they can then use to investigate and filter careers.
Their answers in the Personality Style quiz fine-tune their career matches from the first Matchmaker assessment and match them with careers that are popular for professionals with the same personality styles.
