Problem-solving

Breaking a vague difficulty into parts small enough to actually attack.

Collaboration

Getting work done with people who have different incentives from yours.

This matches your selections against the skills listed on each career page. It is an exploration tool, not a validated aptitude test, and it does not assess you.

Existing strengths

Things you have done repeatedly, with evidence you could point to. These anchor your story.

Transferable capabilities

Skills built elsewhere that apply in a new context, once you can explain the connection.

Development areas

Gaps between where you are and a direction you are considering. Useful, not disqualifying.
