The career services center offers multiple online resources to students who may have concerns about their choice of major, their personal or career goals and their overall personality/career fit.
SkillsOne® is an online resource allowing students to complete either of two online assessments. The two instruments include the MBTI® assessment tool and the Strong Interest Inventory® instrument. Students can complete an assessment right from their dorm room, and then schedule a follow up meeting with a Career counselor to discuss their results. If you are interested in taking an assessment please send us an email indicating that you would like to take an assessment and we will respond within 24 hours.
Below is a short description of each of the options.
The Myers Briggs Type Indicator® is the most popular and widely used instruments in the career counseling field. The MBTI® can show how to increase leadership abilities, improve self-understanding, and identify new career opportunities. One aspect of the MBTI® that makes it so popular is that it is an indicator, not a test, so their are no wrong or right answers. From the assessment a student will receive a four letter personality indicator. This code aides in identifying aspects of an individual's personality and how it relates to their career choices. This usually takes about 1 hour to complete.
The Strong Interest Inventory® Profile is another great tool for students to gain more insight into themselves and their strengths. Used for over the last 75 years it greatly assists students in evaluating majors and career options. Looking to match a persons interests to specific job functions within different fields, it offers a detailed action plan on which to base decisions.
