Career Inventories
Career Services utilizes the Campbell Interest and Skill Survey, the Strong Interest Inventory, and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator as well as several additional assessments for those exploring careers and self. Career counselors interpret the test results for students and alumni and discuss how this information can be used in the career exploration process.  Please stop in Career Services if you are interested in exploring your interests through one of our inventories.
