Who Real World Careers is for — and who it is not for

Direct answer: Real World Careers is for staffing firms, employer TA/HR teams, colleges and workforce programs, and career changers who want capability-matched jobs, a verifiable competence letter, and (for orgs) seats with free seats included. It is not an IQ testing company, not a medical product, and not a guarantee of hire.

Not a fit (honest)

Want a free unlimited assessmentFree seats exist inside paid org pilots — not unlimited free product.
Want an IQ score / 220-scale productThat is not Real World Careers. Max composite 110, six work domains.
Want automated hiring decisionsWe are decision support only — not sole basis for hire.
Need medical or clinical diagnosisNot medical. Educational and workforce oriented.
