What is a Career Assessment Test?

Answer:
A career assessment test is a tool for determining

which career might be best for you. Usually a fairly straightforward questionnaire, a career assessment test can help you to narrow down your career choices or determine which field you might enjoy going into. The questions on a career assessment test identify what your areas of interest, talents, and strengths are, and which career field these correspond to.

Career assessment tests are often taking by students finishing high school or college, and looking for some direction as to what they might enjoy doing with their life. They are also taken by people considering a career change, or by anyone curious about what the results might show. Some career assessment tests are automated, while others have a career counselor or someone else follow up with you after you take it.

You may also hear of a career aptitude test. The aptitude test is a little different in that it takes more into consideration your cognitive abilities rather than simply taking your likes, dislikes and character trends.
