Choosing the right career path is one of the most important choices you can make. It helps to have some expert advice!
We offer assessments designed to help individuals make decisions according to who they are and what they are looking for in a career.
YouScience is a unique assessment by assessing one’s aptitudes (meaning innate qualities) instead of interests. It provides detailed results on careers and education recommendations. While this is a heavy focus on aptitudes, it does do a short interest survey. The assessment allows you to start and stop at your convenience. Students, alumni and community members are welcome to take this assessment.
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and Strong Interest Inventory both assess the test taker’s personality and interests. They are simple and require only “gut” responses, so there is no need to prepare. The reports generate information helpful in indicating what types of work environments and job responsibilities would best suit the test-taker as a unique individual.
If you are interested in taking either of these assessments, call Career Services Specialist Zacharey Green at 815-599-3508 for more information. The results are sent to the office and will be explained to you during a one-on-one appointment.
