Abstract: A method for facilitating self-knowledge and career management including providing a user interface to a career management software tool that includes a type and temperament module, a skills and experiences module, and a career interests module. The user interface has a screen flow and includes illustrated scenarios as a form of stimuli. One or more of the modules are executed to determine characteristics of a user. The executing includes receiving information from the user via the user interface and performing user validation of the determined characteristics. The user validation includes altering the screen flow in response to the information received from the user. A job taxonomy database that includes occupational themes and associated occupational characteristics is accessed to select a subset of the occupational themes based on the determined characteristics of the user. The subset of the occupational themes is transmitted to the user via the user interface.
