๐Ÿ”ฎ Hidden match: Industrial Design. You rarely watch it, but your profile fits.
01

Your footprint shows

what you actually spend your attention on, month after month. Years of history donโ€™t care how a question is phrased.

02

Quizzes ask

what you think you like. The answer depends on what sounds good and how you feel that day.

03

We combine both

because a footprint canโ€™t know your grades or your values. Each part covers the otherโ€™s blind spots.

Plug in what you like. Skip the rest.

Every source is optional and read-only. The more you add, the sharper it gets.

YouTube & Google

One request at Google, one file

Every video you watched, often years of it, plus your Google searches, the pages you visited, Maps and apps. The richest source by far.

5,000โ€“100,000 signals
Spotify

Request it from Spotify, drop the file

Podcasts, saved episodes and audiobooks show what you want to understand. Music adds a light personality signal.

200โ€“20,000 signals
Instagram & TikTok

Request it from Instagram or TikTok, drop the file

The topics Instagram filed you under, the accounts you follow, what you liked, saved and searched, your hashtags.

300โ€“20,000 signals
Reddit

Sign in, read-only

The communities you joined, what you saved and upvoted, what you posted. r/AskHistorians says a lot.

100โ€“3,000 signals
GitHub

Just your username

What you build and what you star. The strongest signal there is for people who make things.

Holland interests (RIASEC), the 20-item Mini-IPIP Big Five, your school subjects and what you want from work.

Questions

Do you store my YouTube history?

No. The analysis runs in your browser. Your history goes straight from Google to your device, gets turned into a summary and the raw data is thrown away. Our server never sees it.

Is this a real psychological test?

The questionnaire uses established instruments: Hollandโ€™s RIASEC interest model, the basis of most career guidance, and the Mini-IPIP, a validated 20-item Big Five scale. The footprint analysis is our own model; the how-it-works page explains every step and its limits.

Which countries do you cover?

Programme by programme: the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Switzerland, from official data. For 60+ other countries we show the universities strongest in your fields by research output, plus every university in the country.

What does the full report add?

Your #1 field with all the evidence, and every matching programme in the countries you pick, with the fee that applies to you, graduate earnings where published, admission rates and links to apply. One payment, valid 12 months, data refreshed weekly.

Can I use it without connecting anything?

Yes. The questionnaire alone gives a solid result. Each source you add makes it sharper, and the confidence badge on your result tells you how much it rests on.
