Career Assessments

career-assessment

One way for you to learn more about your interests, work styles, skills, and areas of strength, is to take a career assessment; while no career assessment can choose your major or career for you, they can provide you will a lot of great information that you can use to explore options.

Self-Assessments

We offer two really great "self-assessments" which will not require you to come into our office for any type of interpretation, however we highly encourage you to bring your assessment results in with you for a one on one appointment; sometimes discussing results with a trained professional can help you "unpack" your results and brainstorm options.

 

FOCUS 2 CAREER (Free) Expand

Focus 2 Logo

FOCUS 2 CAREER is a platform to help you discover and plan your education, major, and career goals. After creating an account, you will have the option to complete multiple assessments. Many students start at the top and work their way down. You will have the option to combine your assessments for a more complete look at your results.

New users:

  • Register - On the registration form, use your Eagle's Email and use the Access Code: eagle.

Returning users:

  • Login

We recommend you meet with a Career Advisor to discuss your results and to further investigate your major or career interests.

16personalities Logo

"Get a description of who you are and why you do things the way you do."

"Our personality types are based on five independent spectrums, with all letters in the type code (e.g. INFJ-A) referring to one of the two sides of the corresponding spectrum. You can see where you fall on each scale by completing our free personality assessment, NERIS Type Explorer®. This approach has allowed us to achieve high test accuracy while also retaining the ability to define and describe distinct personality types."

Purpose Match (Fee required for Access code) Expand

"Based on years of research by counselors and psychometrics experts, PurposeMatch is a user-friendly software tool that works alongside existing student management and college planning resources. We've developed a simple, practical way of thinking about purpose:

When you're doing what you're good at (strengths) and what you most enjoy (passions) to meet an important need in the world (awareness), alongside people that bring out the best in you (relationship style), then you're living with purpose!"

Purpose Match measures your:

  • Strengths - What do you do well?
  • Passions - What do you love to do?
  • Awarenesses - What issues do you care about?
  • Relationship style - How do you work best with others?

Contact us for pricing and access code.

Professional Assessments

Professional Assessments cost a nominal fee and require you to meet with a career advisor to go over your results. Contact us to get started.

 

Strong Interest Inventory

Strong Interest Inventory®

"The Strong Interest Inventory® assessment is one of the world's most widely respected and frequently used career planning tools. It has helped both academic and business organizations develop the brightest talent and has guided thousands of individuals-from high school and college students to midcareer workers seeking a change in their search for a rich and fulfilling career."
