Strong Interest Inventory® / MBTI
Making important decisions that will affect your education and career choice can be stressful. Too often students take out significant student loans to attend schools without knowing exactly what they intend to study. As a result, many students complete their degrees without a clear sense of direction and take unfulfilling jobs.
The Strong Interest Inventory with the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) assessment is a career tool to help clarify which education and career path best suits your personality. In a recent survey 72% of students reported that they were more enthusiastic about their future careers after taking the Strong Interest Inventory (US News and World Report 2011).
The Strong Interest Inventory will help you to:
-
Find relevant, informative and enjoyable college or vocational courses.
-
Identify career fields and occupations you would likely find rewarding.
-
Choose a major that reflects your interests.
-
Discover satisfying work environments.
-
Choose a career path that will be productive and rewarding.
These extremely affordable assessments can be conveniently done on-line when and where you choose and usually take about one hour. Upon completion, your assessment report will be reviewed by the Human Resource Potential Center and a copy sent to you. The report will provide you with your:
-
General Occupation Themes which measure six broad interest patterns that can be used to describe your work personality.
-
Basic Interest Scales which represent specific interest areas that often point to work activities, projects, course work and leisure activities that are personally motivating and rewarding.
-
Occupational Scales where you will find your scores for over one hundred occupations along with your top ten occupations most closely aligned with your interests.
-
Personal Style Scales describe your preferred style in approaching people, learning, leading, making decisions and participating in teams.
The Human Resource Potential Center will also explain the report to you and answer questions regarding the results. Additional consulting services such as career counseling can be provided at a mutually agreed additional cost.
