Assessments - Career, Skills, Interests

Don't know where to start in your Career Exploration process?

If you are unsure of what careers are a good fit for you take the short assessments below. When taking these assessments, go with your first instinct and don't over think the questions. Interpret the results as suggested potential career paths, not a definitive answer. Keep an open mind and explore suggestions you haven't considered before.

Interest Assessment
Answer 30 short questions about your interests to generate your RIASEC Code and a list of careers that matches. Then explore the list of careers deeper to learn about the job outlook, average pay, typical education level, and related job titles.
Skills Matcher
Rate your current skill level in 40 areas to create a list of your strongest skills and learn which careers match your unique skill set.
o*net Interest Profiler
This assessment is very similar to the interest assessment, but allows you to filter roles by Job Zone (amount of preparation and/or education needed).
