Description
This website provides free resources and assessments that teachers can use to look at personality characteristics. Two assessments that can be used for Career Assessments are "Jung Type Tests" and "Holland Code (RIASEC) Tests." The Jung Type test provides the test taker with a Myers Briggs type code that can be used to compare to the codes of people who are already working in the field and finding success. The Holland type test provides a Holland code that can be used to compare to potential career options. Both tests are not long (not more than fifty questions), and would serve as a good supplement to other assessments, or career tests that students might take.
Rationale
Students can take both the Myers Briggs Type Test and the Holland Type test to help them assess which types of careers would best match their personality and personal preferences. These tests are not standardized, but could be used as a supplemental career information source when making a career decision.
