Self-Assessments

Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor, the O*NET Interest Profiler helps you identify your interests and how they relate to the world of work. By answering 60 questions, the Profiler provides you with a framework for what careers align with your interests. In the alternative, you can explore careers by industry to learn more about each job requires in terms of skills, knowledge and abilities.

Take the Strong to help clarify your interests in a variety of different areas including jobs, school subjects, activities, leisure activities and types of people. Your results on the Strong will enable you to explore how your interests relate to potential career choices, as well as give you some insight into your work style and preferred work environment. Please contact careers@wlu.edu before taking the Strong to receive instructions, and you will also have to schedule an in-person interpretation of the results AFTER completion of the assessment.

Use the Myers-Briggs to discover where you prefer to focus your attention, how you take in information, and how your preferences affect your decision making style. Your results on the assessment tool will give you a working hypothesis about your “personality type”. This is an abbreviated version of the full assessment.
