It’s important to realize that no assessment can tell you your one best career choice. Rather, assessments aim to open up new options for further exploration. Although career assessments are designed for validity, results can only be as accurate as you are. On many assessments, if you answer even a few questions inaccurately, you will get wrong results and recommendations. It is wise to take more than one career assessment. You will get a much better picture of your interests, preferences and values, and your career suggestions will be more true to you. If two or three assessments give you similar results, you can feel confident that you are identifying your “real” self and appropriate careers for you. Assessments deal in categories. Don’t let these categories make you forget that you are individual and unique. Your career counselor, who will interpret your results for you, will encourage you to put your results in the context of you and what makes you unique. The Career Center offers the following career assessments: Strong Interest Inventory Whether you are exploring careers or considering a job change, the Strong Interest Inventory® provides the most valid, powerful and up-to-date information to help you make informed decisions. The Strong’s items measure your interests in a broad range of occupations, work activities, leisure activities and school subjects. Your pattern of responses is compared to the patterns of responses of people in different occupations with the idea that if you have similar interests, you are likely to find certain occupations satisfying. Myers-Briggs Type Indicator The MBTI provides you with information about your preferred methods for taking in information, interacting with people, making decisions and planning your life. This self-knowledge is useful; it will enable you to better assess work environments and determine if they provide you with an atmosphere conducive to your preferences. Several versions of the MBTI are available, including MBTI Interpretive Report, MBTI Interpretive Report for Organizations, MBTI Step II (Expanded Analysis Report), and the combined MBTI/Strong Report. A counselor can provide you with more information about the available versions. Values-Driven Work Card Sort Helps you clarify those characteristics of work that are most important to you. Values are the core principles that give meaning to your life. When your values are aligned with your work activities and surroundings, you are more satisfied; when they are not aligned with your work, you tend to be less content with your life. The Value-Driven Work Card Sort helps you assess your work values in four areas: intrinsic values, work environment, work content and work relationships. See less »
