The purpose of assessment testing is to get you to think about career options and to give you a place from which to start in-depth career exploration. No test can tell you what you should do. You might agree or disagree with the test results. If you disagree, remember that your thoughts and feelings about the test results matter more than the results you get.

To start the assessments:
- Click on the Assessment Tab to reveal a menu with the tests you can take: Personality Test, Interest Inventory, Skills Profiler, and Values Assessment. Each assessment takes about 15 minutes to complete.
- Pick one of the tests, read the brief description of that test and then click the "Start Test" button. Read the directions. Answer all of the questions. Take the time to read each question and think about the best answer, but don't second guess yourself.
- After you take each test, click on the links in the Test Report box to see your results, to see how you compare to others, and to learn a bit about the methodology of that test.
- Click on CareerMatch after each test to see a list of suggested occupations.
- You can click on the names of occupations in which you are interested and you will see up-to-date career descriptions, salaries, requirements, and outlooks.
- Don't be surprised if you get somewhat different lists of occupations after you take different tests. After you've completed all four tests, click on the Composite Score link in the menu on the left to see a list of occupations based on the results of all four tests.
