AIST 3 Career Assessment Test
Find your career path!
The General Interest Structure Test (AIST-3 for short) is a scientifically validated, computer-based career assessment test.
Are you wondering which career path you’d like to pursue after graduation? So many possibilities, yet so few ideas? With the AIST-3, you’ll answer simple questions to identify the three most relevant interest groups out of six. And then? Together with a counselor from the Career Center team, you’ll discuss potential career paths and fields of work that might align with this combination of three interest groups. A catalog of job profiles tailored specifically to the Austrian market is also available to help inspire you.
Please note: The AIST-3 test is administered in German!
