Career Tests: A Pathway to Rewarding Careers

Career tests are the first stage of career planning. They open up possibilities by helping you uncover the tasks, experiences, education and training you might need. This enables you to make better decisions, market yourself to your best advantage, and avoid spending money on the wrong education. Working in an unsatisfying job can dramatically reduce happiness, productivity, self-confidence and self-worth.

What Exactly is a Career Test?

A career test is a type of assessment designed to help individuals determine which career opportunities best match their interests, personality, aptitude, IQ, or other characteristics. There are actually thousands of such tests in production in the world today in various online or paper formats, most of which are available only at considerable expense through career counselors and psychologists. Below are definitions of some common tests:

• Aptitude Test - predicts an individual's innate or learned potential to perform a particular set of tasks or work.
• Education Test - helps individuals decide whether to go back to school or get a campus or online degree.
• Entrepreneur Test - assesses to what degree an individual's personality matches the profile of successful entrepreneurs.
• Interest Test - measures someone's orientation to different jobs, and helps them decide how to choose job categories and evaluate opportunities, and whether to change careers.
• IQ Test - measures a person's ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, use language, and to learn.
• Personality Test - measures an individual's typical patterns of behavior, thoughts, and feelings.
• Resume Test - evaluates the quality of one's resume and suggests how it can be improved through better resume templates, resume writing, and the development of a cover letter.
• Salary Calculator and Salary Survey - while not a test, employment compensation tools assess wages and salaries across a broad spectrum of jobs, industries and locations, providing valuable career advice and facilitating career development to the individual in career change.
• Satisfaction Test - measures an individual's contentment with their job or chosen profession.
