Show HN: I built a resonance-based aptitude test that simulates job shadowing
anewaptitude.comInstead of using personality quizzes or abstract assessments, I built a platform that tests career aptitude by measuring how naturally different types of professional information "stick" in your mind.
The platform presents technical scenarios from various careers (complete with authentic industry language and processes), then tests retention to identify which fields resonate most strongly with the user's natural abilities.

Natalie, Forensic Science Technician
A crime scene investigation involves recovering trace evidence that could help solve a burglary case. Natalie is utilizing an electrostatic dust print lifter to capture footwear impressions left on the floor. At this time, she is carefully applying the film to ensure even contact with the surface, preserving the impression for analysis in the lab. This procedure aids in establishing the presence and movement of individuals at the scene of the crime. Story 1 of 15
And the question (for this story) asked after all the stories are presented:
How does using an electrostatic dust print lifter assist in a burglary investigation?
A. Preserving footwear impressions for lab analysis to show the movement of individuals.
B. Cleaning the floor of the crime scene to enhance the appearance for photographs.
C. Ensuring all evidence is well-preserved by using advanced surface-cleaning techniques.
D. Identifying the type of flooring material used by analyzing the impression depth.

The hypothesis is that our brains naturally engage with and retain information that aligns with our innate aptitudes. By exposing users to real-world job scenarios and measuring what they naturally remember, we can reveal potential career paths they might not have considered.
