How Disharthi works out your results
Disharthi isn't open yet. This page explains how results will be worked out, what AI does and doesn't decide, and what the results can't tell you. The exact formulas, weights and cut-off points stay private, so you can't recompute a result from this page.
Last updated 2 November 2026
What the assessment looks at
- What you enjoy: the subjects, tasks and settings you are drawn to.
- How you work: how you engage with people and where you draw your energy from.
- What matters to you: what you want work to give you.
- Aptitude: a timed section on reasoning. It comes last and is the only timed section.
The free interest test covers only what you enjoy. Learning styles are left out on purpose, because they have no supported effect on learning outcomes.
How your answers are read
In the scoring, your answers are read against each other. Nothing in it reads another person's answers. Outside aptitude there are no right or wrong answers. Aptitude is reported as the number of questions you got right, and it places you in no ranking.
Your report shows how many questions each result came from, and it can flag answers that look inconsistent.
Who picks the careers
A fixed arithmetic rule picks them, not AI. Every career on our list has a profile. Your answers about what you enjoy and what matters to you are compared with it, and a closer match ranks higher. How you work and aptitude shape what your report says about you, but they don't move the career list.
The same answers give the same order against the same career list. If we change the list or the rule, the order can change. If too few careers qualify, you see fewer, because the list is never padded. A career we can't compare fairly is left out rather than ranked low.
What AI does write
Most of your report is written in advance and chosen by your results. A language model writes a short summary of you, the explanation of why these directions came up, a short reason for each career family, and Hindi and Marathi versions of that text. It is given your trait names, their order and levels, the matched careers and a broad age range. It is not given your name, email, phone number or date of birth.
Your scores and which careers appear, in what order, are worked out before the model is asked. Elsewhere in Disharthi, AI also writes the topic notes parents see, and it creates or marks some quizzes and practice interviews.
What Darsh, your AI guide, can do
- See a summary of your results, your plan and any documents you upload.
- Look up exams, colleges, scholarships and careers, and search a fixed list of official websites.
- Suggest a change to your plan, which happens only if you accept it.
Darsh can't change your results and isn't part of how career directions are reached. It can be wrong, so check anything important before you act on it.
Where career information comes from
Career profiles are derived from O*NET 29.3 occupational data, rescaled before we use it. Career names, descriptions and Indian education routes are written by us, because O*NET describes the United States. At least one career has no O*NET counterpart, so its profile is our own judgement.
This career information includes information from O*NET OnLine by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (USDOL/ETA). Used under the CC BY 4.0 licence. O*NET® is a trademark of USDOL/ETA.
What your results can't tell you
- They are not a psychological, psychiatric or medical diagnosis or assessment, and this is not a clinical instrument.
- We do not describe our scales as validated, standardised, normed or psychometric.
- They do not predict or guarantee your aptitude, admission, a job, income or any other outcome.
- They do not replace advice from a qualified counsellor, doctor or teacher.
- They cannot tell you how you compare with anyone else.
- They carry no confidence score.
- Career profiles come from a United States source and are used as they are, with no mapping to Indian occupation codes.
- Our career list is a starter set, and it will grow.
- The reason under a career names only the interest and work-value areas used for matching. It says where your answers and that career sit together, not that one caused the other.
Your results are a starting point for a conversation with a teacher, counsellor or parent, not a final answer.
