Based on Career anchors method, Edgar Schein developed the idea of career anchors. Career anchors are what people most want out of a career and what ultimately drives to take final decision. This test modified with these 9 major variants which are Money, Power, Meaning, Expertise, Innovation, Social affiliation, Autonomy, Security and Status.

He came up with 8 career anchors which are listed below:.

• Autonomy/independence – wanting to be self reliant – useful with today’s contracting out.
• Security/stability – wanting to remain with one employer for life – not so likely any more.
• Technical/functional competence – to identify with a professional discipline.
• General management – having a broad, overview, facilitating role, not a specialist.
• Entrepreneurial creativity – a premium wherever innovation drives competitiveness.
• Service – dedication to worthwhile causes ranging from the environment to poverty.
• Pure challenge – just solving difficult problems – no pattern necessary.
• Life style – disinclination to sacrifice life style solely for career advancement.
