PART 2: Take a Career Assessment
A career assessment is a tool to help you better understand your interests, skills, values, or personality. The University Advisement Center offers various assessments you can take to help you make decisions about your career.
1: Take the Assessment (TypeFocus, SII, MBTI)
- Answer each question but before moving to the next one ask yourself:
Why did I respond this way?
What do I feel about these options? Why?
What are my assumptions about each option?
How much experience do I have with each option?
What do I see myself doing in each option
- Write down any of your insightful responses to these questions.
2: Make an appointment with one of our advisors to evaluate your assessment.
