What are the six work domains?
Executive reasoning, quantitative and spatial, verbal and working memory, visual pattern, workplace judgment, and procedural sequencing. Fifty timed work items. Ceiling 110. No IQ label.
Six work domains · the layer the federal tables do not have
A hiring statistic does not name the work.
Unemployment, claims, openings, and wages describe the market. They do not show how one person plans, counts, remembers, sees a pattern, judges a people-problem, or sequences a task. That is what the fifty questions are for. Ceiling 110. No IQ label. Mapped to O*NET abilities and Generalized Work Activities. Not a Department of Labor endorsement.
Executive reasoning
Planning and decisions under constraint. A low state unemployment rate does not measure this.
Quantitative and spatial
Number and space problems. An openings count is not a score on this domain.
Verbal and working memory
Hold and use language. A wage table does not measure it.
Visual pattern
Structure and detail. Weekly claims do not sort people by this.
Workplace judgment
Interpersonal work decisions. A quit rate is not a judgment score.
Procedural sequencing
Order and multi-step work. A payroll gain in a sector is not a sequence score.
Departments
What the office does with this
Buy the work-fit when you need the six domains before the salary. $50 a person for the work-fit and the ZIP list. $95 adds one practice exam. Names stay in your ATS. This is decision support, not a hire stamp.
Job seekers
What the person does with this
Career Fit is $199 if no office is buying the seat. You get the six domains, unlimited matches, and two years of ZIP jobs. You do not have to share the report.

Is this an IQ test?
No. The ceiling is 110. There is no IQ label. It is not a medical exam. The items are work problems.
Departments
What does executive reasoning cover?
Planning and decisions under constraint. A state unemployment rate does not measure it. The fifty items do.
Departments
What does quantitative and spatial cover?
Number and space problems. An openings count is not a score on this domain.
Job seekers
What does verbal and working memory cover?
Holding and using language while you work. A wage table does not measure it. The sitting does.
Departments
What does visual pattern cover?
Structure and detail. Weekly claims do not sort applicants by this.
Departments
What does workplace judgment cover?
Interpersonal work decisions. A national quit rate is not a judgment score for one person.
Job seekers
What does procedural sequencing cover?
Order and multi-step work. A payroll gain in a sector is not your sequence score.
Departments
Are the domains mapped to O*NET?
Yes. Each domain is crosswalked to O*NET abilities and Generalized Work Activities. That map is not a Department of Labor endorsement. The one-page file is the O*NET content map.
Departments
Does a strong domain score hire the person?
No. The office still decides. Names stay in the office ATS. The product is decision support, not a hire stamp and not a qualification determination.
Job seekers
Do I have to share my domain scores with an employer?
No. You own the career-path file. A hiring company sees the work-fit file only if you opt in.
Departments
What does an office pay for the six domains?
An office never pays the $199 Career Fit price. An office pays $50 a person for the work-fit and the ZIP list, or $95 a person with one practice exam. No minimum. One to 500 people on a card.
Job seekers
What do I pay if no office is buying a seat?
Career Fit is $199. Fifty questions, unlimited matches, a report you can print, and ZIP jobs for two years. That purchase does not include a practice exam.
Departments
How long is the sitting?
About 45 to 60 minutes. One sitting. Phone or computer.
Departments
Where is the technical manual?
The public technical manual is Edition 1.0, linked from the method page. Adverse-impact work is not claimed as finished. Voluntary demographics collection began 7 September 2026. Analysis waits until a comparison group reaches n of at least 100.
Job seekers
What should I do with the result this week?
Read the path, open the ZIP list, and apply where the work already fits how you solve problems. The report is not the product. Using it this week is.
Departments
Can I brief a CHCO with the unemployment chart and skip the domains?
You can brief the chart. You cannot claim it shows how a person solves work. The chart is the market. The domains are the person. Federal buyers use the federal page, not a hire exam.
Job seekers
Will the domains get me a civil-service rating?
No. Real World Careers is a private company. Results do not determine eligibility, grade, clearance, referral, or hire. A practice exam on a $95 office seat prepares you for a real sitting. It is not the real exam.
Departments
Where does a federal office buy the six domains?
On the federal page, at the same office rates: $50 a person, or $95 with one practice exam. It is a development map, not a hiring exam, and it is not a qualification determination. Not FedRAMP authorized.
Job seekers
What is the refund rule on Career Fit?
The consumer checkout states a conditional 7-day refund policy in the terms. Read the terms for the condition. An office purchase is a different checkout.
