Gathering Information about oneself as it related to the world of work
is generally referred to as performing a self-assessment. The CDC offers
several "formal" paper-pencil instruments and inventories (listed below)
to assist you in the self-assessment portion of the career planning
process. Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
The MBTI is a personality instrument based on Carl Jung's theory of
psychological types. The MBTI is a helpful tool for understanding your
natural personality preferences. We use the MBTI in the Career
Development Center to help you understand how your natural preferences
can be used in the career decision-making process.
Self-Directed Search (SDS)
The SDS is the most widely used career "test" in the world. It is
based on the work of Dr. John Holland. By determining your "Holland
Code", you can determine occupations likely to suit you.
Assessments on the Internet
There are several "career assessments" available on the Internet.
For your convenience, we have compiled some of these sites for you. Be
advised that while these instruments may be accurate, validity and
reliability measures may not have been established for them.
Visit the Internet resources link on the CDC homepage or a few of the
links listed below if you'd like to try one.
