Frequently Asked Questions
- Can my son or daughter take a test that will tell them what to do and/or major in?
In some cases, assessments (surveys) such as the Strong Interest Inventory and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator may be used to help your son or daughter identify interests and various personality characteristics. However, there is no "career test" that can determine what career your son or daughter should pursue.
Career Consultants meet with students before recommending assessments to determine with the student the best course of action. Students interested in learning more about self-assessment can contact their Career Consultant.
