Career Assessments

While there are many different types of interest inventories and assessment tools available to help point you in the right direction, there is no one "test" that will give you the answer. Career assessments are tools designed to help you explore and identify skills, interests, and values and how they may relate to career fields. Whether you enter Florida International University with a declared major or in an undecided status, many of you will change majors at least once before your degree is granted. The process of choosing a major or career typically begins with self-assessment. Consider taking one of the assessments described below to learn more about your interests, personality, skills and abilities, and values.

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)- This is a paper and pencil personality inventory used to identify basic personality patterns. There are sixteen personality types in all and each type can be used to suggest potential majors, professions, and work settings. Allow 45 min - 1 hour to complete the assessment. A qualified Career Consultant will interpret your results.

Self-Directed Search (SDS)- The SDS is a self-administered and self-scored assessment that will provide a three-letter occupational code. The three-letter code is used to begin to help you identify occupations and college majors.

SIGI 3 (pronounced sigee 3)- SIGI 3 (or System of Interactive Guidance and Information Plus) will help you examine your work-related values, interests, and skills. Once you enter your preferences, the program searches its built-in databanks to find careers that most closely match your preferences. There are 9 sections in all, providing information on what occupations might be like, skills necessary, how to prepare, and more.
