Career Dimensions Basics™ Online was created with lower English literacy skills in mind. It was painstakingly edited, reviewed, re-edited, and reviewed many times over to bring it to a reasonable and consistent grade level;  It falls somewhere between a grade 4-5 on the Flesch–Kincaid readability test. It uses the same concepts, and some of the same terminology as the original Career Dimensions™ Online assessment but removes the colloquialisms and slang terms that can be difficult to understand for adults who are learning English, or have lower literacy skills.

Career Dimensions Basics™ Online focuses on individual workplace preferences. Unlike many career assessment instruments, Career Dimensions™ explores the actual work environment in which clients are most comfortable by examining a variety of areas, including: the natural talents brought to work, values, major job stressors, work philosophy, and definition of success.

This easy-to-understand survey is based on the Personality Dimensions® system and draws on the research and development that created that model. The personalized 34-page report includes lists of suggested occupations with updated 5-figure NOC codes (exclusive to Career Dimensions™ Online), offering 145 NOC units for each of the four dimensions and three job examples for each unit. It finishes with a section for setting goals and creating the next steps along the career path.

The lists of suggested occupations were compiled based on a wealth of previously published materials on type and temperament work preferences and the population statistics that have been compiled since the publication of Personality Dimensions®. Career Dimensions™ Online is very user-friendly and is designed for use wherever a quick, effective, yet inexpensive work place assessment will enhance the job search process, e.g., job search programs, youth employment programs as well as career and co-op offices.
