Career assessments

Our career counsellors can administer and interpret career assessments.聽 Those most frequently used are the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Strong Interest Inventory (SII). These instruments will provide you with feedback about your personality preferences and interests and how they relate to your career choices.

• Strong Interest Inventory (SII):

The Strong Interest Inventory is an instrument that can help you discover your interests. It identifies themes and specific areas of interest, and it compares the strength of your interests with those of individuals in a variety of occupations. It can help you to confirm areas of interest and to identify new options to investigate further.

• Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI):

The MBTI is designed to help you identify your natural personality preferences and provides insight into qualities such as how you make decisions, interact with people, gather information, and get energized. The MBTI does not measure aptitudes, but helps you better understand yourself: your motivations, strengths, and potential areas of growth.

To arrange to take either assessment requires an appointment with a career counsellor, as described above. 聽聽Please note there are fees for these assessments which your counsellor will discuss with you.
