Career Assessments


Are you trying to decide whether you should be an electrical engineer or a chemist or possibly an economist? You already know something about your abilities in math and science, as well as your interest in both of these areas. Here are some assessment tools that may provide you with useful information about your career options.

ONET

This is a very powerful website. Not only can you research occupations in depth and search for occupations based on the skills you want to use, you are only one click away from searching for employers and looking at local and national job trends!

The Career Key

This assessment takes about 10 minutes. The Career Key will help you -- in choosing a career, choosing a college major or training program, and in career planning. Take The Career Key, a professional test or quiz. It measures your skills, abilities, talents, values, interests, and personality. You will identify promising jobs and get accurate career information about them. 

USAJobs

There are two different interest assessments on this site. The first one, the Career Interest Guide, helps you identify jobs that are best suited to your interests. The second one, the Job Interest Matching, matches the things you like to do with jobs available in government.

Career Interest Checklist

The Career Interest Checklist is a quick and easy beginning point for exploring careers. The results do not necessarily indicate the "right" careers for you, and shouldn't be confused with more scientific career assessments. Exploration and careful study will help you find careers that might be "right" for you.

Career Interest Survey

What type are you? Practical? Intellectual? Creative? Outgoing? Persuasive? Adaptive? After completing the form, a summary of your interest and some potential majors/careers will be returned.

10 Steps Career Planning Guide

Not a true assessment site, more information, broken into topics from values to technical know-how and others.

Personality Type

This is an inventory similar to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, based on the theories of the psychologist Carl Jung.
