  • Other Assessment Tools

    Assessments may be used as part of the career exploration advising process.

    Assessments tools are discretionary and completed on the recommendation of a Career Services adviser, after consultation.

    The Career Services adviser delivers the assessment results and facilitates interpretation.

    Fees may be associated with assessments.

    Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)

    The MBTI questionnaire identifies individual strengths and style through clarification of personal preferences in four dimensions. After individually-focused advising, a Career Services adviser determines whether or not to administer the MBTI.

    Self-Directed Search (SDS)

    A booklet format delivering a personalized Holland Code, identifying ideal work environments and interests based on expressed preferences. After individually-focused advising, a Career Services adviser determines whether or not to administer the SDS.

    Card Sorts

    Sorting specific skills and interests cards into levels and preferences. Adviser-student discussions about the choices lead to clarity about career and major preferences. After individually-focused advising, a Career Services adviser determines whether or not to administer the Card Sorts.

    Campbell Interests and Skills Survey (CISS)

    A computer-scored questionnaire that categorizes interests and skills into seven orientations, then further narrows these to specialized areas. CISS identifies career fields to investigate. After individually-focused advising, a Career Services adviser determines whether or not to administer the CISS.
