Answer each question as honestly as you can, and try not to overthink your choices. There are absolutely no right or wrong answers here, this isn’t a test and there’s nothing to “get perfect.” This quiz is simply a gentle way to explore the kind of work that feels natural to you, the environments where you thrive, and the tasks that energize you rather than drain you.
Think of this as a quick check-in with your own strengths and preferences. Most virtual assistants are multi-talented and capable of doing many different things, which is wonderful… but it makes choosing a niche confusing or overwhelming. This quiz is designed to cut through that noise and help you identify the direction that feels the most aligned with how you like to work, communicate, and support clients.
