How MAPS Assessment works

Last updated April 2026

Step 1 — Enter your two career paths

Start by entering any two careers you are considering pursuing simultaneously — for example, Software Developer + Photographer, or Nurse + Business Owner. There is no limit to the combinations you can test.

Step 2 — Answer the MAPS questions

You will be guided through four targeted questions — one for each dimension of the MAPS framework. Each question takes about 60 seconds to answer and is designed to surface how your two chosen paths relate to each other in practice.

Step 3 — Receive your score

Your responses are scored across four dimensions (M, A, P, S) producing a total score out of 12. Based on your score, you receive one of three verdicts: Compounding (8–12), Adjacent (4–7), or Competing (0–3).
