When you’re working on something that truly interests you, it can feel like you could go on for hours without anyone needing to push you. What do you enjoy doing when you’re on your own? Studieomaten scores you across five key areas.
Ideas and Theories
Do you like understanding how everything fits together? Ideas and theories are abstract mental models that explain how things work. They can be concrete answers to specific questions, or general theories about philosophical questions and other areas. If you like ideas and theories, you’re likely to be curious, enjoy abstract thinking, and enjoy distancing yourself from what you’re studying.
Quantitative Analysis
Do you like to collect data and analyse the results? Quantitative analysis finds connections across anything that can be measured. Counting, calculating, and comparing large datasets, you create statistics, tables, and graphs that explain the big picture. If you like quantitative analysis, you’re likely to have a strategic and analytical mind.
Understanding People
Do you like to understand why people do what they do? Understanding people is about both what makes individuals tick, and how individuals interact in society, as well as how we’re influenced by our workplace, culture, nature, and political systems. If you like understanding people, you’re likely curious and empathetic.
Creative Production
Do you like art and culture, as well as organising things? Creative production doesn’t need artistic talent - even though many people interested in creative production are skilled artists. It’s also about creating business opportunities from creative work. If you like creative production you tend to have a good head for business and structure, while wanting to inspire people.
Technology Use
Do you like to create complex digital systems, or figure out how they work? Technology is more than coding, even though programming is a great example. It’s about user experience, smart solutions, machine learning and virtual reality. If you like technology use, you’re likely focused and curious about the future.
