Assessments

On this page, you will find a variety of assessments to help you navigate the college and career planning process. I recommend using all these assessments to help you narrow down your choices. Using a variety of tools will help you get more accurate results. Cross reference your results from the different assessments to determine what careers are duplicated across multiple tools.

GETTING STARTED

Make a list of your top desired strengths based on these list of strengths: CLICK HERE. 

This will be your LIST 1

​

Start the Assessment

  • Take the FREE Strengths Assessment by CLICKING HERE.

  • Take the Aptitude Test for Strengths and Weaknesses

  • Matchmaker has 84 questions – complete them all!  Answer honestly. There are no wrong answers.​ 

  • When you get your results, the 5 strengths listed will be LIST 2. 

​

Explore Your Results

  • Compare your List 1 and List 2 results.

    • List 1, the self-selected list, is your list of Ideal Strengths. It reveals the skills that you would most like to be using now.  Sometimes, it reveals the skills you most wanted to use when you were starting your career.  Remember then, when you were all bright-eyed and optimistic about your future?

    • List 2, the online test list, is your list of Deep Strengths. When there are strengths here that are not on List 1, the strengths are often skills that you may have been suppressing, or that have become ingrained in you due to the educational or career path you’ve chosen. Do not ignore these “hidden” strengths, because they reveal something deep about you.

  • Click here to explore your results.

  • Click the tabs for your top 5 strengths and read the description for each strength. Write down what careers would match this strength.

    • ​Reflect and write. Write down what you think about each strength. Then give yourself a week or two off.  Reflect on your work, and what makes you happy or unhappy, in light of your List 1 and List 2 strengths. After 2 weeks, read what you wrote, and edit it. See if you have additional insights to add.  Write down ideas for how to incorporate more strengths in your work. (The book itself provides a few ideas for this.) Think about what long-term career direction your might go into to eventually do more of what you love.

  • Explore your career results by going back to Career Cruising and using the program to explore specific careers.
