📖 The report
⚙️ How it works
In the Class 9 paper you're compared with Class 9 students only — never with older kids. Short sections, no wrong answers:
Every answer feeds one profile, scored against your class norms — then matched to 2,000+ careers.
Stylised preview — the real report is a full A4 document.
Every parameter we measure
Same parameters in every class — the Class 9 paper changes the questions and the norms, not what we measure.
🎯 Why this class
The stream form is still far away, so the 36 interest statements can point you somewhere new without a deadline arguing back.
Interests and the 40 ability questions are measured separately — in Class 9 that gap is still easy to act on.
All 13 Career Families come back ranked for you, so these two freer years go into activities that actually build towards something.
You walk away with ranked career matches and a fit % from the 2,000+ career library, the 13 Career Families in your order, a which-stream-for-Class-11 page, and a do-this-not-that plan for the next 12 months.
🗓️ When & why
Does this sound familiar?
A ranked list of careers and all 13 career families — a map before anyone asks you to pick a road.
36 interest statements find what actually pulls them — an interest profile the phone can't show you.
Group the class by interest profile, run one session per group, and give each parent a page to read at home.
The right moments
Two full years before the stream form. Explore now, decide calmly later.
Spend these two freer years on things that match your profile.
Walk in with a shortlist — Class 10 becomes confirmation, not discovery.
Know it now and Class 10 is a confirmation. Wait a year and Class 10 becomes the whole decision.
Once a year is enough. The retake compares you only with your own last profile — never with other students.

🤔 Questions?
About 23 minutes for the Class 9 paper — around 150 short questions: 36 interest statements, 40 ability questions, personality & EQ, work style & values, and 20 real-life choices. One sitting on any phone, auto-saves.
Only one round is timed: the 90-second speed sprint inside Abilities, where nobody is expected to finish the stack. Every other section is untimed, and the assessment auto-saves — pause and continue any time.
No — it's the best time. Two full years before the stream form, the Class 9 report gives a which-stream-for-Class-11 page, all 13 Career Families ranked, and a 12-month do-this-not-that plan. Explore now, decide calmly in Class 10.
No. Interests, personality, work style and real-life choices have no right or wrong. Only the Abilities section and the short career-awareness quiz have correct answers — and there is no penalty for guessing. The report gives direction, never an IQ number.
No. Every question is written for Class 9 and normed on Class 9 students only. A retake next year compares them only with their own last profile — never with other students.
