I think it's meant to be an interest inventory. At this point in my life, I think what I'm good at has dovetailed with what I enjoy anyway. We tend to enjoy what we're good at and be good at what we enjoy.

I'm using it as a way to explore options. There are so many possible jobs out there! It's overwhelming. This lets me narrow down the options to things that are most likely to meet my interests. But if I see something I like that isn't on the list, I'll explore the one I like.
