Quizzes
Quizzes and tests don't hold all the answers, but they do give some information.
The value of inventories depends on the test, the clinical expertise of the interpreter, how you feel when you take the test, your age, experiences and other variables.
Tests don't provide all the information needed for wise decision-making. They should be interpreted by qualified professionals who can integrate test results with other personal information often obtained from well-designed exercises and appropriate questions. Because you continually grow throughout life, results may change over time.
Tests also don't address the context or environment of an occupation. This is an important component of occupational suitability. The wrong environmental fit and poor "people chemistry" will influence job satisfaction and success. An individual, who could be happy in one environment, may self-destruct in another. A pharmacist, who loves working in a drug store, may dislike working in a hospital or biomedical company.
Do you know what career and lifestyle options are compatible with your personal characteristics?
Getting to Know Yourself
Uncovering a you that you didn't know existed can be fun. Selecting a satisfying occupation, partner or lifestyle requires a good understanding of yourself -- purpose, interests, needs, values, accomplishments, abilities, aspirations and other personal characteristics. It also requires exploring compatible options.
Remember, the quizzes available in this section only give a small piece of the real you. To get a clearer picture of where you fit with certain traits, ask a close friend for feedback. You may also benefit from more in-depth counseling and coaching (See Career and Personal Development Counseling and Coaching)
