CAREER "TEST" CUES:

Keep these facts in mind when taking career tests, in-person, online, etc...

  1. This test is for YOU and you alone. Be selfish with your perspectives and thoughts when completing.
  2. Do not predict the outcome. Doing so will bias the process, yielding inaccurate results.
  3. This is not a test. Results are not FINAL, they are meant only as a guide, or perspective.
  4. The more the merrier. Take more than 1 test and compare notes. We recommend at least 3.
There are many additional resources available to help you as well.
