Career Assessment

The assessment process requires the client to create an inventory list of strengths and weaknesses with the help of a career management professional. This paves the way to build on strengths as a foundation for enhanced performance.

There are several assessment tools that identify strengths and increase self-awareness. Three recommended assessment tools include the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality test, 360 Degree Review, and the Big Five Personality Test. The Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) allows clients to learn more about themselves and career options. The 360 Degree Review allows the client to obtain input from fellow employees from all hierarchical levels. The Big Five Personality Test is another assessment that is not strictly career-oriented, but provides insight that can be applied to careers, such as how one ranks in the following scales: close-minded vs. open to new experiences, disorganized vs. conscientious, introverted vs. extraverted, disagreeable vs. agreeable, and calm vs. high strung. A career management counselor will help to identify which assessment tool would be best for each individual from the many that are available and discuss the meaning of the results.
