The Decision Making Matrixes

Question: What is the Matrix?

Answer: Its a great movie and a grid that helps you compare a number of factors in a single table. Don't be scared off by bad memories of your high school algebra -- we'll do all the math for you!

To use these tools successfully it is recommended that you:

  1. Complete the relevant personal inventories in our self-exploration section. The three matrices here require the information identified from the interests, work values and transferable skills you identified in those activities.

  2. Next, identify three career possibilities. If you do not yet have this information, return to the "career possiblities section" and find out your career possibilities.

  3. Complete all three matrixes so that you have a thorough comparison of occupations.

  4. Review and interpret your results.

Now, on to the matrices ...
