Career Assessment
The results of career assessment CANNOT make a decision
for you or tell you which major or career is the right one for you.
Instead, the main function of career assessment is to help you to gain a
better understanding about yourself so that you can use that information
to make a sound career decision.
All assessment results will be
interpreted by your career counselor depending on your unique situation,
goals, and needs. If you are interested in career
assessment, please call The Career Center at 410-704-2233 to schedule an
appointment with a career counselor. You MUST make an appointment
in order to complete an assessment.
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) - personal preferences
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) describes personality based on
preferences across four scales: Extraversion-Introversion,
Sensing-Intuition, Thinking-Feeling, and Judging-Perceiving. These
preferences combine into one of 16 types. Understanding your preferences
can help you to decide what you want to do and how to improve your
chances of getting what you want. The Career Report of the MBTI provides
occupational lists showing the occupations most selected and least
selected by your personality type. It usually takes 30-40 minutes to
complete the inventory online.

The Self-Directed Search
The Self-Directed Search (SDS) is based
on John Holland's theory that most people can be loosely categorized into
one of six
types: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and
Conventional. Occupations and work environments are also classified this
way. People who choose careers that match their own types are likely to
be both satisfied and successful. This is a self-scored
paper-pencil assessment.
