Vocational Assessments...
Vocational assessments are designed to give insight into
your predominant personality factors, motivators, and
confirmation of strengths or areas for development.
Does this
person have a highly independent nature? Do they have an
genuine interest in public speaking? Assessments often
provide an objective measure and a predictive validity when
an individual’s assessment is compared against a normally
distributed population.
Robust vocational assessments have been shown to be a
valuable tool in helping people to assess whether or not
they are applying for a job that is a good fit in terms of
their interests, work values, and personality. This
process often leads to new career development options or the
application of skills previously unexplored.
Strong Interest
Inventory® Interpretive Report
The Strong Interest Inventory was
developed by E. K. Strong at Stanford University in
1927. He was a former military psychologist during World
War I who wanted to help the military sort incoming soldiers
into duties.
The Strong compares your pattern of
responses to 317 items to the patterns of over 50,000
Americans who describe themselves as satisfied with their
jobs.
The premise of the Strong is that
individuals are more satisfied and productive when they work
at tasks they find interesting or with people who share
their interests. An extensive number of studies over the
past two decades have demonstrated the statistical validity
of the Strong Interest Inventory
The Strong Interest Inventory addresses
the questions:
WHAT do I want to do?
WHERE do I want to do it?

Myers-Briggs®
Step II Personality Type Indicator
The
Myers-Briggs Step II Personality Type Indicator®
(MBTI) was
invented by a mother/daughter team in the 1930s in order to
make the theory of psychological types by C. G. Jung useful
in people’s lives. It is the most widely used personality
instrument in the world – over 2 million administrations are
given each year.
The Myers-Briggs® is based on Jung’s ideas about
how different ways of perceiving the world and then coming
to conclusions describe different types of people.
The value of this theory is that it
enables us to expect specific differences in people, and
therefore, be able to cope with people and their differences
more constructively.
The Myers-Briggs Step II Personality
Type Indicator® addresses the questions:
WHO am I?
WHY do I want to work? (my motivation)
This
assessment only takes 20 minutes online at any location or
time. You'll get a colorful 5-page report full of
