Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)

The Career Report applies MBTI results to identify job families and occupations that potentially could be a good fit for reported MBTI type, with descriptions on how personality type affects Career Choice, Career Exploration, and Career Development. The interpretation includes descriptions and explanations of the four preference scales including introversion/extraversion, sensing/intuition, thinking/feeling, judging/perceiving. Supplemental handouts include: definitions and characteristics/descriptors of MBTI personality type, the effect of preferences on work setting, Type in College, Type and Careers, Type in Organizations, Type and Career Coaching, Type and Learning, and Type and Leadership.

Strong Interest Inventory

The Strong Interest Inventory includes summary and interpretative information on six occupational themes — Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional, linking these themes with interests, work activities, potential skills, and values. The report indicates level of interest (high to low) on basic interest scales and compares interests to people in over 120 various occupations on all themes, indicating to students how their interest patterns match individuals in specific professions. The College Profile links strong results to typical college majors, campus organizations/activities, internships/job settings, and college courses.
