Interest Assessments
Strong Interest Inventory:
The Strong Interest Inventory is the most popular assessment used today. The SII assesses a person's interest and compares them to the interest of people working in certain occupations. It is not a test because there is no right or wrong answers. The SII is a survey that measures self-reported interest and skills, and provides information that will assist with the career exploration and career development process. The SII helps students pinpoint areas of academic study that can build skill and increase career options. The SII is available in paper and pencil form. It can be taken in the Career Center or completed at home and returned to the Career Center. The SII takes approximately 45 minutes to complete. The SII is computer scored in the Career Center and an appointment is scheduled to go over the results with the Director of Career Center.

Myers Briggs Type Indicator:
The Myers Briggs Type Indicator is not specifically designed as a career assessment instrument. It is a "type" or temperament indicator. It is primarily concerned with the valuable differences in an individual's personality that results from where one likes to focus attention, the way one likes to take in information, the way one likes to make decisions, and the kind of lifestyle one adopts. Each types has its own set of inherent strengths. The MBTI can add to ones self-assessment profile by understanding one's self better. The information it provides can help in the process of making informed career decisions. It is a paper and pencil test that is computer scored in the Career Center. An appointment must be made with the Director of the Career Center to go over the results.
