You might be showing up to work every day — but are you in a career tailored to your interests, goals, and aspirations?

Here’s why it matters: Studies show that job satisfaction is tied to a stronger sense of self, increased productivity, and a more positive outlook on life. Think: Loving what you do and where you work is not overrated.

That’s the driving force behind Southeastern University’s Major Mindset quiz — a personalized quiz that matches you (or your student) to the academic majors + career paths that best align with your strengths, personality, and interests. Here’s how it works:

🧑‍💻 Take the quiz

Whether you’re a working adult looking for a new career or a parent with a high school or college student exploring their options, taking this quiz will narrow down the choices — and potentially chart a course for the rest of your life.

📋 Get results

Quiz results will reveal your “major mindset” and how your natural tendencies shape the careers in which you will most thrive. Look forward to finding out:

  • What drives you (think: innovation, creativity, ambition, problem solving, helping others)
  • The working environments you’ll do well in (think: being challenged, generating ideas, fostering growth in others, analyzing data, finding solutions)
  • What majors best fit your strengths (think: Communication, Business Administration, Digital Design, Psychology, Education, Nursing, Mathematics, Physical Education, and more).
