MBTI® To Get Unstuck

Career assessments can open doors to important insights regarding your career development. Assessments can enable you to better verbalize your career desires and can assist you in describing yourself in a concise yet thorough manner.

The power of the MBTI®, specifically, is in its ability to assist in focusing you on language and key ideas to help you target your job search, prepare your resumes, and ace the interview.

As an added perk of the MBTI®, many people begin a fun journey of self-discovery as a result of using the assessment. In fact, many people describe the opportunity as life changing!

Here is a link for more information about the theory and background of the MBTI®. Please contact me if you are interested in taking the assessment.

Best Career Tests

There is not an OSFA (one size fits all) for career assessments. Generally, though, there are some important data sets that a person can consider when taking stock of career options – personality type, interests, skills, and values.

  • For personality type, I recommend the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®. You can find a list of certified providers of the assessment here or contact me. Here are some great books and free resources too but consulting with a certified provider of the assessment is ideal.
  • For interests, I recommend the Strong Interest Inventory®. See the list of providers above many who also give this assessment or contact me. You may also want to check out this introduction to Holland Codes which are also used in Strong Interest Inventory® results.
  • For skills assessment, I like to reference the O*Net Skills Search checklist which is free online. Here is another good free one online.
  • For values, here is a very good free resource.
