What KnowYouRole is, and what it isn't
It is a free, 30-question quiz about how a person likes to work. It is informed by the Big Five, a common way to describe habits such as curiosity, follow-through, and social energy. The result is a starting point for a conversation.
It is not a clinical test, not a school placement tool, and not a verdict. A teen can disagree with it. You can too. The method page explains the limits in more detail.
02
Privacy for families: no account or name needed, what is stored, how to ask for deletion
Your teen can take the quiz without an account and without entering a name. We save the quiz completion so the result can be shown and recovered. We do not sell quiz results. Optional analytics stays off until someone turns it on.
To ask for deletion, export, or a correction, email info@knowyourole.com. Include enough detail for us to find the record, such as a result identifier if you have one. We may need to verify the request before acting on it. The full wording is on the privacy page.
03
Under-13s and school use
If your child is under 13, they should not provide an email address or other personal information unless you agree. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without appropriate consent. If you believe a child under 13 did so, contact us and we will review the deletion request.
A school may use the quiz as a class activity. Students still do not need an account. Your school's own rules apply. Read for schools and, if you advise a counselor, for counselors.
04
Talking with your teen about their result
Five ways to start. You are listening for what they want to try, not closing a case.
- What part of the result sounded like you?
- What part did not?
- Which kind of day sounded interesting: making, fixing, helping, or organizing?
- What is one small thing you could try this month that is not a big decision?
- Who else should we ask, such as a teacher or someone who does that work?
05
Trades, college, creative work: keeping options open
A useful result leaves more than one door open. Hands-on trades, college majors, and creative work can all be worth a look. None of them is a consolation prize.
If your teen is curious about fixing and building, read the trades career quiz. If they are curious about art, video, music, or design, read the creator careers quiz. They can take the quiz themselves when they are ready.
FAQ
Common questions
Is this personality quiz safe for my kid?
It does not ask for a name or an account. It is not a medical or mental-health test. Read the privacy page for what is stored, and do not have a child under 13 enter personal information without your OK.
Will it tell my teenager what career to choose?
No. It suggests directions to explore. You and your teen still decide what to try.
Does my teen have to give an email?
No. Email is only used if someone later asks to have a result summary sent. The quiz itself does not require it.
How do I ask you to delete something?
Email info@knowyourole.com, as the privacy page describes. We may need to verify the request.
