Study and career choices: compare your options

A DISC profile can prompt a discussion of preferences. Then investigate real tasks, interests, demonstrated skills and practical requirements. This worksheet helps you compare two options using your own evidence.

Free worksheet · original exercise

Explore two education or career options

Compare what you know, what you need to find out and what you could try in practice. You choose the two options to explore.

This worksheet organises your own information. It does not calculate suitability, rank options or give career advice from DISC scores.

  1. Choose two specific courses or occupations; avoid broad labels such as ‘something creative’.

  2. Use the same six prompts for each: interest, evidence of skills, entry or training requirements, everyday tasks, a practical trial and practical conditions.

  3. Separate observations from assumptions. For missing information, note a person or source you could consult.

  4. Choose one small research action for each option and a time to review your notes.

Make it specific

Frequently asked questions

Which career or course suits my DISC color?

A color cannot determine that. Investigate what you enjoy, what you can demonstrate, what you want to learn and what the option requires. This worksheet organizes your information without producing a suitability score.
