We are majormatch.us, the aptitude-first college major assessment (~15–25 min, free top-3, optional $29 Pathfinder). We are not majormatch.me (a separate short interest quiz). If search sent you for “MajorMatch,” confirm the domain.
Every year, over 30 percent of college students change their major at least once. The average student who switches adds an extra semester of tuition, and many take even longer to graduate. Some never finish at all. The financial cost of choosing the wrong major can reach tens of thousands of dollars. The emotional cost is harder to measure but just as real.
Most students make this decision using guesswork, parental pressure, or a five-minute quiz they found online. Free quizzes are built for engagement, not accuracy. They collect your data and send you to affiliate programs. They do not account for career outlook, salary trajectories, AI disruption risk, or whether a major actually fits who you are across multiple dimensions.
MajorMatch was built to fix this. We created one free adaptive assessment — about 15–25 minutes, about 52 prompts — that measures five ability domains (Numeracy, Verbal, Logic, Data, and Spatial) plus RIASEC interests and persistence. It is not a personality test and not a published clinical validation study. The free result is your top 3 majors. Optional Pathfinder is $29 one-time and unlocks the top 10 with reasoning. See how the assessment is built.
Sonny Howard founded MajorMatch after seeing firsthand how many students struggle with one of the most consequential decisions of their early lives. The gap between the importance of this choice and the quality of tools available to make it was too large to ignore.
The vision behind MajorMatch is straightforward: give every student access to the kind of career guidance that used to be reserved for families who could afford private college counselors. The free assessment measures five ability domains plus RIASEC interests and persistence, then pairs that profile with real labor market data. It is not a personality test and not a published clinical validation study.
Today, MajorMatch serves students and families nationwide, helping them approach this decision with data and confidence rather than guesswork and anxiety.
Every recommendation is backed by labor market data and career outcome statistics, alongside five measured ability domains, RIASEC interests, and persistence. We do not guess. We measure. This is not a published clinical validation study.
