The purpose of this article was to design and implement a vocational test for a career in Industrial Design, using a web platform for remote testing that also included tests for 5 other careers. A game proposal called 3D Matching was designed to evaluate the spatial reasoning skills and attention to detail of each participant, additionally multiple-choice questions were asked to measure other important characteristics in the profile of the aspiring industrial design, such as creativity, curiosity, graphic expression and manual dexterity. The complete vocational orientation test was carried out by a total of 48 participants from the city of Cali, Colombia, 24 men and 24 women between 14 and 19 years old, with the purpose of meeting the need of young people to plan their professional future. After collecting and analyzing the information from the tests, it is found that there are some aspects to improve and analyze about the scoring system, however, it is still possible to determine the affinity of a person with the industrial design career through this test.
