Counseling
Support Programs: Interest inventories measure vocational interests rather than aptitude. By comparing a student's responses with those of satisfied workers in various occupations, an interest inventory can help a student determine the occupations for which he or she is best suited. The following are all administered and conducted at the Education and Training Center by appointment only.
The
Campbell Interest and Skill Survey measures personal interests
and skills. The CISS helps counselors obtain more complete career
assessment information by providing an integrated measure of
personal interests and skills. This inventory is similar to
others in that the interest scale reflects the participant's
degree of attraction for a specific occupational area. However,
the CISS goes beyond traditional inventories by adding a parallel
skill scale that provides an estimate of the individual's confidence
in his or her ability to perform various occupational activities.
Together, the two types of scales provide more comprehensive,
and richer data than interests scores alone. The CISS focuses
on careers that require post-secondary education and is most
appropriate for use with individuals who are university or college
bound.

Self-Directed Search (SDS)

that best suit their interests and skills. The easy to use format
allows people to take, score and interpret the test without
assistance. The Occupational Finder contains over 1300 occupational
possibilities. The Dictionary of Occupational Title Codes are
provided for educational development levels of associated occupations.
Kuder
Occupational Interest Survey
The
Kuder Occupational Interest Survey suggests promising occupations
and college majors in rank order, based upon the individual's
pattern. These range from occupations requiring professional
schooling to those requiring technical school training. The
Kuder is one of the oldest interest surveys on the market today.
Myers-Briggs
Type Indicator (MBTI)
The
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator helps individuals understand their
strengths and evaluates their differences and similarities.
The MBTI outlines the basic differences in the way people use
perception and judgment. Perception uses sensing and intuition
to evaluate how we become aware of things, people, events or
ideas. Judgment incorporates thinking and feeling to determine
how we draw conclusions about what we perceive.
