the RHS "bar colours indicate match quality" explanatory panel should be beneath the industry matches graph on the Personality Quiz results page. It was way below the fold on my screen. I had more or less worked out what the bar colours meant before I had scrolled enough to see the explanation.
I am struggling to log in, I have been sent numerous passwords and it is not obvious how to proceed ? I completed a personlaity test and I wish for my CV to be attached toit, and also to print off a detailed version of my personality assessment.

The dignity and welfare of people should be the most important concern in any society
This is confusing to me, as dignity can be misinterpreted completely from welfare. If I'm a radical Muslim, for instance, my dignity is how people see me, my family, and my wife. However, to say my dignity is important might inadvertantly put my wife at risk, if she was accused of cheating on me. In some societies, maintaining dignity in the family means the wife, daughter, etc., gets stoned to death.
I feel confused about this question, as I see dignity having a direct effect on welfare, in an inverse way.
So I can say i strongly agree about a society's welfare (as I'm interpreting it to be basic needs as housing and food and water), but dignity is, at times, immoral as it effects welfare directly.
Looks like the interface design needs a little tweaking. The pie chart labels are impossible read for some of the slices on the Education Requirements for Investment Management http://www.path101.com/explore/indust...
I can't tell if my educational background is a slice.
Thanks for doing something different in the job/career website market!
The slider is a nice widget but the user has to slide twice for each question to total 100%. Perhaps have 1 slider that weights between the 2 parts automatically removing 1 step.
For the slider questions, I find that I want to keep even percentages and I'd be happier with clicks by 5% points. Maybe that says something about my work style though....
Overall the flow is great, but I wonder if it might add to test takers' patience quotient if the categories of question were labeled. Then you could also add a table of contents so that people have more of a sense of where they are going next.
A couple of suggestions:
+ I'd like to see a way to retake the test or amend some of the answers
+ I'd like to check how my 'personality' stacks up against other industries (not only the good matches)
In addition, I was surprised to see five industries with a very high fit for each trait. Maybe that's linked to the number of persons having taken the test so far.
Went to go take the personality test and the following happened:
1. Filled in entire first page of test
2. Clicked "Next"
3. Was bumped to a registration page to register
4. Was kicked out of the test
5. Went to restart the test, and only my age and sex were saved, the rest was wiped and I had to restart
Is it possible to take the quiz over again, or to update answers? At the very least, I would like to be able to revisit the quiz questions so I can see which answers influenced my results and think about what changes I could make in my own attitude and work style that might result in some positive changes in my professional life.
I must admit that I'm not thrilled with the personality and recommended career results I got from the quiz. They may very well be accurate, though, and I see that I need to personally reevaluate some things to get more favorable results on this site AND in my career. To be honest, I also think that I took the quiz in a negative state of mind—in fact, my state of mind drove me to seek out career advice online! I wish I could take the quiz again now that I've cooled down a bit.
When someone who isn't logged in views a quiz results page they get "Compare to Ed" and a call to action to take the quiz. Why not add a registration / login panel right there in the right hand column (where today it reads "Take the quiz and register to compare your quiz results to your friends!") and capture the person right there so that on filling that panel out they immediately go to their own quiz.
Right now you take the quiz and opt for a registration either at the end of the quiz or if you opt to save for later. I wonder how many people you're losing because of this (once they've registered they've bought in, until they do though they haven't).
I checked out my results as they'd appear to someone who doesn't have an account or isn't logged in if they do. I'd remove the link " Back to your results" which appears at the top of the quiz results, since clicking that just leads to a login screen. Alternately, change the login screen to be a split login / register screen.
In the share your results panel on a quiz result page also display the raw link.
I see you provide this in "Compare with Others" but suggest adding it to the box where the facebook/email/twitter sharing is touted.
On your first page, I don't believe in having to provide my full birthdate, I'll provide my year only. In this case I didn't specify day/month. On Next, I got 3 missing fields (Birth Date, Gender (a question I completely missed), and Industries (which I did select bit seems to have cleared on submit).
However, please do add a feature in your CV analysis engine to sort same sounding but different roles- Like I have been in Account Management in Advertising Industry but it compares my CV against accountants.
Got halfway through the quiz, clicked next and the browser through up an error. No way to save my progress at that point. Should have suggested that the user register and then take the quiz. I'll return to this quiz in the future but it doesn't look like I'll be spending time on it again any time soon.
