Career Planning Test - Making The Grade

A career planning test can help you recognize your abilities and areas of ability and elucidate your values. All of this can help you and an employment analyst match you to occupations for which you are best matched. A career planning test is not a form of the supernatural. It cannot point you toward the "perfect" job, and it does not reveal the "real" you. It is a directional aid.

One career planning test deals with values inventories. It focuses on work values and way of life values. It helps students recognize what types of jobs they might want to travel around. There are no right or wrong answers on this test. The test events your responses in such areas as originality, autonomy, attainment, safety, unselfishness, diversity, economic plunder, thinker stimulation, physical activity, risk, and social relationships.
