Self-assessments are a great way to realistically appraise yourself and provide a
starting point for career planning. While no test will determine what you should "be,"
there are tools to help you evaluate yourself and find the career that is best for
you.
When making significant career or education decisions, it is important to recognize
a few key characteristics about yourself. Being aware of these characteristics will
help you choose a major, career, or advanced degree program that may result in a higher
level of job satisfaction.
Focus2
The Focus2 self-assessment measures and identifies your interests, personality, skills, and values. Each self-assessment takes 15-20 minutes depending on the individual. Focus2 combines self-assessment, career and major exploration, decision making, and action planning in one comprehensive tool. These outcomes will help you match your interests, skills, and values to academic or career goals. Plan out your education and career goals by using the Focus2 Workbook.
