College Major Matcher — Holland RIASEC, 40 Questions, 10+ Real Majors

Real-world use cases

• A grade-12 student two months before gaokao narrows a 30-major mess down to 6

  You scored 78 on Investigative and 71 on Realistic but had no idea whether that meant biomedical engineering or mechanical or IC design. Forty items later your code reads IRC, the tool ranks 12 majors, and the job-outlook line flags biology as "plan for grad school" while IC design shows "localization tailwind through 2030". You walk into the dinner-table志愿 argument with 6 defensible picks instead of 30 browser tabs.

• A parent who keeps pushing "just do accounting, it's stable" gets a reality check

  Your kid's strongest dimensions come out A=80 and S=74, an artistic and social profile. The recommender surfaces visual communication design, journalism, and clinical psychology, while accounting (a C-heavy major) sits near the bottom with a "fit is weak, you'll grind against your interests for four years" note. The radar chart is the conversation-opener: it moves the argument from opinion to a six-dimension picture both of you can point at.

• A new-gaokao 3+1+2 student checks interest fit before locking subject selection

  You're in grade 10 choosing between a physics main and a history main, which silently decides half your eligible majors. Your code comes out ECS, leaning Enterprising and Conventional, and the shortlist is heavy on finance, international economics, and law. Most of those favor a physics or history main with no chemistry lock-in, so you take the shortlist to your province's 选科要求 table and confirm the subject path before it becomes irreversible.

• A career-center advisor runs a workshop for 40 students in one afternoon

  You need a no-login, no-data-collection tool you can put on a projector and have 40 phones run simultaneously without a server choking. Each student does the 6-minute test, screenshots their three-letter code and radar, and you spend the session discussing the 12 ranked majors and the honest job-outlook notes instead of administering the test. Nothing leaves any browser, so there's no consent form to chase.

Common pitfalls

• Treating the three-letter code as a verdict. A code of ASE with A=79, S=77 is a near-tie; read the ASE, SAE, and AES recommendation sets together and look for the majors that overlap.

• Crossing off a "pit major" like biology the second it appears. The fit can be real — the right move is to read its job-outlook note, which says "plan for grad school", not to assume the tool made an error.

• Stopping at the interest result. Interest is one of five志愿 factors; pair the shortlist with your gaokao score, the major's admission line, your 选科 mix, and family situation before deciding anything.
