Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator reports your preferences on four scales. There are two opposite preferences on each scale. The four scales deal with where you like to focus your attention, the way you like to look at things, the way you like to go about deciding things, and how you deal with the outer world.
The people who get the greatest satisfaction at work are those who do what they like--what they naturally enjoy most. Do you get energized being by yourself, or with others? Do you prefer to "play things by ear" or do you need your appointment book nearby? These are just some of the questions that the MBTI can answer, to help aid you in the search for a career that is ideal for you.
Personality Type Preference Indicator
Personality Type Preference Indicator provides information on personality, cognitive, and interest scales that provides a picture of individual behavior.
The Strong Interest Inventory
The Strong Interest Inventory compares your interests in different areas to a general sample of people employed in a wide variety of occupations.
Interests play a crucial role in job satisfaction. If you don't like working with data, you probably won't be happy as a statistician. Or maybe you like investigative, analytical work, perhaps a career as a chemist might be for you.
The Skills Sort
The Skills Sort allows you to quickly and easily identify the skills which may be central to your career satisfaction and success.
The Values Sort
The Values Sort helps you identify values which may be central to your career satisfaction and success.
What do you value in a career? Is it money and prestige? Or is it creativity, or security? What about the skills that you possess? Which skills would you most like to use in a job? These two card sorts can help you put in perspective what things are important to you in a job.
