Career Testing Sites

Career Testing cannot tell you what you are "supposed" to do. However, they do give you language to describe yourself, which is especially helpful for your elevator speech and in interviews. Some tests compare you to similar "types" of people who succeed in different careers. We encourage you to take a test or two in order to help you describe your style, interests, etc. and to clarify why some careers seem to fit better than others. However, tests cannot predict your best-fit career. There is always a large margin of error. Career tests never

have right or wrong answers. They help you describe yourself in terms that make it easier to explore many career options.
