The Strong Interest Inventory is the most widely used and best
validated career test in the country. It tells you how your patterns of
interests compare to happily employed people in over 200 different
occupations. When you match interests with people who are happy in a career,
you are much more likely to be happy yourself. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator measures your preferences on four core
aspects of personality. From your scores you can see which of 16 personality
groups you are most like. Although many different personality preferences can
work in an job, people with certain types tend to enjoy some occupations more
than others. This inventory is often validating for people who are not quite
sure why they prefer particular tasks or work environment over others.
Understanding personality preferences can also be very helpful in working
through conflicts and improving communications in the workplace.

Both Inventories: You can take both inventories as a package.
The package includes both inventories and a total of three hours counseling.
Before taking the assessment inventories, you will have a one-hour appointment
with a career counselor to discuss background information that will be helpful
in making the best use of assessment results. Many clients find discussing
career likes and dislikes gives them insight that help with career
decision-making.
You need to make an appointment to take one of both tests. Day and evening
appointments are available. Call 303-443-0419 for an appointment.
Costs for these inventories are on a sliding-scale, based on family income.
All of our testing interpretations are provided by counselors who have
special training in career assessment interpretation. Our staff has collectively
interpreted hundreds of assessments, and have seen just about every combination
of interests and personality. Because of our training and experience, we can
help you use the test to make a solid career plan.
