What is a Career Assessment Test?

A career assessment test is exactly what it sounds like. It is a test, or series of assessment tools, used to help people take stock of where they are in their career, or to evaluate other types of careers that might be more suitable. Our online assessment test will help you answer questions like:

Is my career on track?
Have I chosen the right career?
Am I satisfied with my career?
Is my career meeting my needs and desires?

There are various types of assessment tests. Our free assessment will help you understand whether or not a job is the right match for you. It will include an assessment of your job interests, a personality assessment, and an explanation of how your knowledge, skills, abilities, and values affect your career choices. Our career assessment will also identify educational options to advance your career, including earning a degree from a local college or pursuing an online degree. The assessment test will also pinpoint jobs in demand in various fields for you to evaluate.

Anyone who is interested in learning about themselves and how they will excel in different types of careers can complete our assessment forms, which are especially useful for people who are:

Looking for work or want to know all their career opportunities
Not entirely happy with their current career
Facing a career decision
Seeking career advice
At a career cross-roads and are thinking about making a job or career change
Returning to work after an extended absence to take care of or raise a family, or to travel
Considering getting a degree to advance their career
Early retirees interested in finding rewarding ways of spending their time

Almost everyone experiences twists and turns when it comes to their career development. Our testing can give you the information you need to make important career decisions and chart a course to career happiness. It offers a means to discover the questions you should be asking yourself, and uncover the truth about your strengths, weaknesses and what will make you more satisfied in your career planning. It also will give you a framework to sort through all those variables and make sense of your differing degrees of contentment.

There are several types of assessment tools available online, and their quality varies greatly. The LiveCareer assessment tests are scientifically validated and will provide you with the in-depth information you need to make the right career decision.

Do I need career counseling?

No, you don't, and LiveCareer can help you interpret the results of your assessment test. Until now, a quality career assessment test like ours was not widely available to the general public, and previously was available only through certified career counseling. The beauty of the LiveCareer test is that it brings high quality career advice to you, so that you have in your hands all that you need to take your next bold career step.

Will a Career Assessment Test help me decide whether to continue my education or get a degree?

Absolutely; career assessments and education analysis are interlocked! Many adults consider advancing their career through continuing education and pursue degrees at local colleges or through online career colleges. Our free career assessment test identifies which careers match your personality and interests and provides you with what level of education you need to make your next career move. We also facilitate your ability to get free information about various degree and certificates programs from our hundreds of campus-based and online universities and colleges.
