Job seekers and career changers
Most people can list their skills. Far fewer can say clearly how they like to work, what they need from a manager, and what kind of team they do their best work in. A Compass reading gives you the words.
Read your reading
Your two strongest directions are the headline; your two weaker ones say what you will need from the people around you. Neither is a flaw. A low West reading in a high-West job simply means you will want good process around you.
Use it in applications
'I do my best work when I own a problem end to end' is a stronger line than 'self-starter'. The direction and profile pages are written so you can lift the language.
Use it to choose
A high-South reading in a start-up that reorganises every quarter is a recipe for a hard year. The remote-work notes on each direction page describe which environments tend to feel easy and which take energy.
Changing careers
Your reading is about how you work, not what you know, so it travels with you. It is often the most portable thing on a career changer's CV.
