Career Assessments

The more objective you are about your skills, strengths, interests, and values, the more informed and empowering your career/academic decisions will be.

Process recommendations:

  1. Choose assessments that match up with your main questions or priorities. 
  2. Compare results:
    1. Between different career assessments
    2. In relation to what you know about yourself - i.e. through experience
    3. To feedback received from people you respect
  3. Use career assessment results to:
    1. Inform (vs. replace) your current understanding of yourself
    2. Form new questions about: who you are, what is possible, and what career direction(s) could serve you best
    3. Inform your next career development steps
  4. Write down action steps that will help you test, confirm, rule out, or build upon career assessment results.
  5. Review your assessment results at a later time to gain additional insights.
  6. Retake assessments in the future, as needed.
