Compass test
80 quick ratings about your work style and medical interests, plus optional preference checklists. About 10 minutes. Result: your profile as a radar chart and an explained ranking.
Specialty quizzes
Short quizzes with everyday situations from single specialties. Core tasks count double.
Research shows that specialty decisions form when students match their needs against how they perceive a specialty. Predictable hours, patient orientation and variety play a big part, and experiences in placements strongly shape the choice.
The specialty profiles are informed estimates and are being reviewed further with specialists.
This test is a structured self-assessment, not a validated psychometric instrument. The specialty profiles are informed estimates. Use the result as a starting point for conversations and check it with shadowing days and talks with specialists. Training information applies to Germany; the binding rules are those of the relevant state medical chamber. Specialty preferences often change during medical school, so retake the test after new rotations.
