In Brief

JobCannon provides 57 free personality and career assessments for school counsellors, college advisors, university career centres, and educators running classroom workshops. Tests include RIASEC (Holland Codes used by O*NET), Big Five (Five Factor Model, most validated personality framework), DISC (workplace behavior), EQ (emotional intelligence with Goleman's 58% workplace-performance evidence), and Gardner's Multiple Intelligences. Every assessment delivers instant on-screen results students can download as a PDF — no institutional logins required, no email gates, no per-student fees. Compared to Gallup StrengthsFinder ($20-60 per student) or vendor DISC ($50-200 per student), JobCannon is $0. Used for pre-advising assessment, major exploration workshops, internship readiness prep, and career-fair preparation. FERPA-aligned for school official use; full Data Processing Agreement available on request.

How educators use JobCannon

Drop these into your existing advising and classroom workflows — no new system to learn.

Pre-advising assessment
Students take RIASEC + Big Five before their appointment. You start the session with data, not "so what are you thinking?"
Major selection
RIASEC points to career families; career families map to academic disciplines. Data-driven, efficient, student-owned.
Internship & job prep
DISC and EQ for workplace dynamics. Run "Know Your Work Style" workshops with free tests, no licensing fees.
Career-fair preparation
Students arrive at the fair knowing which stands match their Holland Code — they make better use of your event.
Classroom workshops
Big Five, EQ, and Multiple Intelligences for self-awareness sessions. Students discuss results in class.
Freshman seminars
Career-discovery curriculum using free tests across the semester. No budget request, no procurement cycle.

FAQ

Is this really free for our students?

Yes — every assessment is free for unlimited students to take, with full results included. No per-student fees, no school licenses, no institutional login required. Students access tests via direct links and get instant results, not gatekept behind email capture or institutional data sharing. We also offer an optional individual Premium tier with a deeper career guide for users who want it, but students get the full assessment battery and core career insights for free.

How do I integrate this into our career services?

Simple to start: copy assessment links and share with students via your career center website, email, or LMS. No setup needed. Students take tests, get results instantly. For deeper integration — embedding on your site, API access to student results, bulk reporting, or SCORM integration with your LMS — contact us at peter@jobcannon.io to discuss institutional partnerships.

How does JobCannon compare to what we currently pay for?

Many schools use Gallup StrengthsFinder ($20-60 per student) or vendor DISC ($50-200 per student). JobCannon provides the same validated frameworks — RIASEC (Holland Codes, used by O*NET), Big Five (Five Factor Model, most validated personality framework), DISC (workplace behavior), EQ (emotional intelligence) — at $0. You get research-grade assessments without the per-student cost.

What about student privacy and FERPA compliance?

JobCannon does not require institutional logins or student ID submission. Students can take tests anonymously if preferred. Results are private to the student. We do not share individual student data with schools or districts unless explicitly requested. For schools needing FERPA documentation, institutional agreements, or privacy customization, contact us at peter@jobcannon.io.

Can I use these in group advising or classroom workshops?

Absolutely. Career counsellors, advisors, and educators commonly recommend JobCannon for pre-advising assessment, major exploration workshops, internship readiness prep, and career fair preparation. Students take tests before advising sessions, bringing data rather than vague interests. Many schools use them in freshman seminar courses or career development classes. Bulk access and reporting features are available for larger rollouts.
