Career Assessments

Career assessments can help you learn about yourself so that you can make more informed career decisions. The results of your assessment will not make the decision for you or tell you what career is right for you but can provide additional guidance. All assessments will be interpreted by your career counselor based on your individual situation.

SLU Career Services offers the following assessments:

  • Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI): This personality assessment can help you understand your individual personality type and can point you in some possible career directions.
  • Strong Interest Survey: This assessment can help you identify interest areas to see how they align with individuals working in various career fields.
  • StrengthsQuest: This assessment can help you discover, understand and maximize your strengths.
