Assessment

Assessment tools are often sought by career decision makers who are in search of "a test that will tell me what I should be." While there are many resources to assist in career decision-making, there is NO ONE TEST that will answer that important, complex question. There are, however, assessment tools that will help to reveal patterns of interests, skills, values, aptitudes or personality traits that impact that decision.

When choosing an assessment tool remember:

  • the purpose and intent of that instrument (what does it actually measure)
    that assessment tools reflect only part of the picture of the ecision-maker
  • all the information about the decision-maker needs to be considered
  • that assessment should be undertaken with guidance from a career development staff member who is equipped to assist in identifying patterns, pitfalls and plans for next steps.

Collection of assessment possibilities

It is strongly recommended that assessment be taken with guidance from a career development staff member. These professionals are equipped to assist decision makers in identifying patterns, pitfalls and plans for next steps.
