Unsure of your interests and how they could relate to your career plans? If you are struggling with career direction or are confused about your choice of major, these inventories and assessments can help you gain a better understanding of your interests, values, and personality.
You will need to talk with someone in Career Services before taking the MBTI and the Strong in order to get login information, and you will also have to schedule an in-person interpretation of the results for both. Please stop by during Quick Questions.
Use this online tool at your convenience. Focus provides you with a complete picture of your interests, values, personality, skills, and leisure activities using self-assessment questionnaires and personality testing. The system searches its career and occupational information database to help you identify and analyze occupations and career paths that match your personal characteristics.
Use the Myers-Briggs to discover where you prefer to focus your attention, how you take in information, and your decision making style. Your results on this assessment tool will give you a working hypothesis about your “personality type”.
Take the Strong to help clarify your interests in a variety of different areas including jobs, school subjects, activities, leisure activities and types of people. Your results on the Strong will enable you to explore how your interests relate to potential career choices, as well as give you some insight into your work style and preferred work environment.
