Home MenuWhat are Career Assessments?
Career assessments are tools that are designed to help individuals understand how a variety of personal attributes such as personality type and preferences, work values, occupational interests, and skills impact potential success and satisfaction with various career options and work environments. It is a way to learn more about how well a variety of careers might suit you. Typically, an assessment asks you to answer questions about what you like, don't like, what’s important to you, and what your strengths are.
Learn about your attitudes and mental functions with the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® instrument and pinpoint occupational fields that would favor your personality style and values by recognizing:
- Where you focus your attention and get your energy
- The way you take in information
- The way you make decisions
- How you deal with the outer world
