Getting Started with Morrisby
After completing the Aspirations Questionnaire, you can explore your personalised Morrisby account.
This guide walks through how to use the features, using a sample student called Helen as an example.
1. Review Your Interest Profile
Location: About Me > Interest Profile
Interests are grouped into three main categories: People, Information, and Things.
You can see which general career areas you are most interested in based on your questionnaire responses.
Click the links on the left side of the screen for explanations of each interest area.
Paragraphs below provide an interpretation of your interest profile.
Specialist interests are also listed.
Use the World of Work chart to explore interests in more detail.
Example: If your strongest interest is analysing numbers, click that segment to compare preferences (e.g. maths vs economics).
You can retake the questionnaire at any time to update your profile.
2. Understand Your Work Style
Location: About Me > Work Style
Shows your preferences for work environments and roles (e.g. independent vs team-based).
Indicates whether you prefer leadership or being part of a team.
A grid shows your current tendencies (e.g. preference for independent or freelance work).
Blue bars provide a visual breakdown of traits.
Interpretations are shown below the chart.
3. Review Your Workplace Preferences
Location: About Me > Workplace

4. Discover Your Priorities
Location: About Me > Priorities
This questionnaire is optional and takes only a few minutes.
It evaluates what motivates you in work and life (e.g. helping others, earning money).
Results are displayed as blue bars with explanations underneath.
The longer the bar, the more important that priority is to you.

New results will still match your interests but require different qualification levels.
