Strength Combination: How Do Your Interests and Skills Work Together?

I. Background: The CISS Cross-Analysis Method

This test references the psychologist David Campbell's "cross-analysis model of interests and skills". Unlike traditional career assessments, it focuses not only on what you "like to do" but also on what you "can currently do well".

What truly determines career success and happiness is not interest or skill alone, but the fit between the two. By comparing the two scores, we can precisely locate your career coordinates.

II. Understanding Your "Strength Combination" Quadrants

  • Pursue Zone (Pursue): High interest + high skill. This is where your core competitiveness lies and where "flow" is easiest to achieve.
  • Develop Zone (Develop): High interest + low skill. You love this field but still need practice. This is usually your career potential.
  • Avoid Zone (Avoid): Low interest + high skill. You are good at it but find it dull. This is a high-risk area for burnout.
  • Relinquish Zone (Relinquish): Low interest + low skill. These areas are not suitable as your main career direction for now.

III. Assessment Dimensions

This assessment approaches three key domains, examining your interest tendency and skill level in each:

Domain What It Examines
Influence and Leadership Ability and willingness regarding strategic decisions, public speaking, and team management.
Logic and Analysis Data insight, understanding of complex systems, and technical implementation.
Creativity and Care Aesthetic expression, the application of empathy, and social service.

IV. Who Is This Test For?

  • Career changers: torn between "doing what you love" and "doing what you are good at".
  • Those in a career-confusion phase: people who find work difficult or who have a good job but no motivation.
  • Students: seeking a scientific basis for choosing a major or internship direction.
  • Self-explorers: those who want to clarify their personal resources with a quantitative tool.
*Note: This test is adapted and simplified based on the CISS theoretical framework. It is intended to provide career exploration direction and is not a strict clinical diagnostic scale.
