Starting while in school, people try to help us figure out how to use our strengths to choose the right career path for us. Later, after we ‘grow up’ it is very possible that our strengths have changed or developed. And it might be possible that the career path we had chosen while younger is no longer the best fit for us.
To help with that, there are a number of personality and career-oriented tests you can take.
Below is our list with the best career assessment and personality tests to help you decide what it is you want to dedicate your professional life doing:
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
The MBTI is one of the most-used assessments by career centres and managers.
The MBTI is the perfect tool to give you a sense of your personality preferences. Ranging from where you get your energy, how you receive information, how you make decisions, and what kind of structure you like in the world around you, this app will not only help you understand what you are looking for professionally, but will help you understand yourself better too. The MBTI can point to careers that might suit you well, give you a lot of valuable information about what kind of workplaces might be best for you, what your working preferences are, and how you can best relate to others at the office.
Career Strengths Test
Career Strengths Test will help you understand how strong you are in a variety of job-related areas. Leadership, inductive reasoning and structural visualisation are all areas in which it will help you understand more about yourself. After you’ve taken the test, you’ll see which skills you excel in.
What’s really great about this app is that once you get the results, a host of jobs will pop up that include all the major skills in which you’ve excelled.
