ANCa Corporation (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Ryo Sakaguchi) has launched a free diagnostic tool called 'WorkType16' (https://www.worktype16.jp/), which visualizes work-related behavioral and cognitive traits across four axes and 16 types. The tool requires just 9 multiple-choice questions and takes about 1 minute to complete, with no membership registration required. It can be immediately used for self-analysis during job hunting or career transitions, and directly applied to self-promotion in entry sheets and interviews.

'WorkType16' — Diagnose Your "Work Style Type" in Just 9 Questions and About 1 Minute

Background

Approximately 30% of new university graduates leave their jobs within three years of employment (33.8% according to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's 'Leaving Status of New Graduates (Graduated March 2022)'). One contributing factor is the mismatch between job seekers and workplaces in terms of "work style compatibility." At the same time, many job seekers still struggle with expressing their strengths clearly during job hunting and career transitions.

Existing personality assessments (such as MBTI) generally focus on overall personality and fail to capture how individuals actually behave in real work situations. Therefore, ANCa has developed 'WorkType16'—a diagnostic tool designed with workplace-specific scenarios in mind, enabling users to articulate their strengths specifically in terms of "work style."

Guided by the mission to "develop young professionals who excel in any market," ANCa is now offering its expertise in cultivating job-ready talent and recruitment support in a free, accessible format for every job seeker.

Three Key Features of 'WorkType16'

① Instant Results in About 1 Minute — No Registration Required

Answer just 9 multiple-choice questions. No account creation or email input is needed. The entire process—from diagnosis to result confirmation—can be completed instantly on a smartphone.

② Focused on "Work Style," Not Just "Personality"

Questions are designed around real workplace scenarios such as "brainstorming sessions" and "team collaboration." Compared to general personality tests, this tool articulates work-related strengths and areas for improvement with practical, job-relevant clarity.

③ Directly Applicable to Job Hunting and Career Transitions

Results include "Strengths," "Areas for Improvement," "Compatible Types," and "Position within the 16 Types." These insights can be immediately used in self-promotion for entry sheets, interview responses, and workplace compatibility assessments.

How the Diagnosis Works — 16 Types Across 4 Axes

Your "Work Type" is determined by the combination of the following 4 axes (2^4 = 16 types). Each type has a unique name like "Passionate Planning Director," allowing intuitive understanding of your work style.

Axis 1 | Energy Direction (Where you gain energy): Extroverted (O) ↔ Introverted (I)

Axis 2 | Work Focus (What you pay attention to): Vision (V) ↔ Detail (D)

Axis 3 | Decision-Making Basis (How you make decisions): Thinking (T) ↔ Sensing (S)

Axis 4 | Action Style (How you proceed with tasks): Flexible (F) ↔ Planned (P)

*The diagnosis is based on psychological personality typology theories, uniquely designed by ANCa.
