Career Assessments

Career advisors provide access to several computerized self-assessment tools if a student thinks such tools would be helpful. We can discuss which assessment, if any, seems most appropriate to a student's situation. The following assessments are available from the Center:

• DISCOVER: This free, self-guided computer program categorizes interests and provides immediate feedback. The program will suggest jobs for exploration and provide up-to-date career descriptions, salaries, requirements, and outlooks. To take the assessment, go to the Career Resource Library, which is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and request access. We recommend that you discuss your results with an advisor.
• Myers-Briggs Type Indicator: This evaluates the student's personality according to 16 different types. The results can help the advisor and student discuss how the student's personality and interests relate to careers and majors. Students must have a referral from an advisor and pay $15 to take this assessment. Every other Friday, results are returned to students as part of a group explanation of the assessment.
• Strong Interest Inventory: This categorizes the student's interests and suggests careers and majors that might correspond. It also reports the similarity of the student's responses to the responses of people in 110 occupations. We offer this assessment primarily for students who want to define and clarify their career interests. Students must have a referral from an advisor and pay $15 to take this assessment. Every other Friday, results are returned to students as part of a group explanation of the assessment.

The Myers-Briggs and Strong assessments are also part of the ASCS Q294: Basic Career Development curriculum, an 8-week course designed to help students choose a major or career.
