Assessment

Self-assessment is an essential component of career development and planning. We use several self-assessment tools and inventories to help you integrate career options with a better understanding of yourself.

Inventories
While no inventory will tell you the "one perfect career" that is right for you, they can give you options to explore.

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
This 93 question inventory looks at your personality preferences and how they relate to possible strengths, areas that may need improvement, and careers. The inventory normally takes 35-45 minutes to finish and costs $8.00. To take this inventory, stop by Career Services and make an appointment. After the appointment, you will be given the inventory to complete at your leisure. When you return the inventory to our office, we will make a one hour appointment with you to interpret the results.

Strong Interest Inventory
The Strong Interest Inventory can help you to identify general areas of interest as well as specific activities and occupations that you may want to explore further. The Strong has 291 questions, takes approximately 45-60 minutes to finish, and costs $12.00. To take this inventory, stop by Career Services and make an appointment. After the appointment, you will be given a password so you can take the inventory online at your leisure. After you take the inventory, you will need to make a 1 hour appointment for you and a counselor to review your results.

Campbell Interest and Skill Survey
This survey is recommended for alumni or non-traditional age students. It is a 320 question survey that looks at not only your interest but also your self-reported skill level on a variety of scales. The survey takes approximately 50-60 minutes to complete and costs $12.00. To take this inventory, stop by Career Services and make an appointment. After the appointment, you will be given the inventory to complete at your leisure. When you return the inventory to our office, we will make a one hour appointment with you to interpret the results in approximately two weeks. (The Campbell is scored off-site so the results are received in approximately two weeks.)
