Personality and Career Tests Help Students Make Smart Decisions

I use a combination of personality and career tests to guide my clients as they begin the journey to select their colleges, majors, and future careers. 

While this may sound like a lofty task – and impossible goal – when my clients are 17 and 18 years old, I’m struck by how accurate these tests sum up their personalities, motivation, organizational skills, and confidence.

Sometimes it’s difficult to get a sense for how students use their time or how they work in small groups. These tests help me cut to the chase so I can efficiently explore career options with them.

If you’ve never taken a personality test, try the Myers Briggs test.  This is a truncated version of their full battery of tests but it will give you a general idea about your personality type. 

Remember, I use a combination of tests to do a comprehensive analysis – the online tests are just for fun, so don’t take them too seriously!
