Automated Analysis of Assessment Responses

Your assessment responses are analyzed using an artificial intelligence service provided by Anthropic, PBC. Your responses are transmitted to Anthropic solely to generate your results and are not used by us to train any artificial intelligence model. Anthropic’s handling of data submitted through its API is governed by its own terms and privacy policy.

The results produced by this analysis are automated suggestions based on what you have told us. They are not professional career advice, and they are not a guarantee of employment, freelance work, or income.

Your Results Report

After you complete the assessment, we generate a report and make it available at a unique web address. That address contains a randomly generated identifier and is not listed publicly, indexed by search engines, or linked from anywhere on our site. However, anyone who has the link can view the report, so please share it only with people you intend to see it.

Your report remains available for twelve (12) months from the date it is created, after which it expires and the underlying data is deleted.
