Grounded in Science

The ESTE Self-Assessment is grounded in scientific research and theory. ESTE has applied Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT), an empirically supported framework, for understanding and fostering career development in Entrepreneurship, Science, Technology, and Engineering.

ESTE has built a foundation in psychometric research and consideration of the dynamic nature of interests and personality traits. This bold and broad foundation ensures that the Self-Assessment is current and relevant to contemporary career development practices.

ESTE Origins

As a kid, it seemed like the more I tried to pursue what I loved, the more I felt like an outsider and master alienator. I wanted to be a smart enough kid to be liked by all, disliked by no one.

For years, after decades as an aerospace engineer and scientist, I searched for a framework that helped me overcome a sea of fixed-minded thinkers.

After realizing that there is a connection between interests and careers and the four primary ways we think, I created the ESTE Framework (Entrepreneur, Scientist, Technologist, and Engineer) to help others discover and trust their natural curiosity and interests, nurture them, and protect them from stereotypes, gender, and any other bias and fixed mindset.
