GRC CAREER FIT QUIZ

Welcome! This 20-question quiz helps you assess whether GRC aligns with your strengths and work style.

HOW TO TAKE THIS QUIZ:

  • Answer each question using the 1–5 scale
  • 1 = Strongly Disagree
  • 2 = Disagree
  • 3 = Neutral
  • 4 = Agree
  • 5 = Strongly Agree

COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID (READ BEFORE STARTING):

❌ Answering based on what you think you “should” say instead of honest preferences
→ This defeats the purpose. Be honest with yourself.

❌ Comparing your answers to what others might say
→ This isn't a competition. It's about YOUR fit, not how you stack up.

❌ Rushing through without reflection
→ Take your time. Your career depends on honest self-assessment.
