Career Test (am I too late for this??)

Highest Interest Scores

Your strongest interests (higher than 70) are a great place to start when considering your career options. Research has shown that people whose interests match their careers are more confident, happier, and achieve greater success.

Your highest score was on Food Service, which means that you like to be involved in the preparation, serving, or selling of food products. This includes selecting ingredients, creating menus, supervising kitchen staff, cooking, baking, and aspects of food service. You also scored highly on Writing, indicating that you enjoy creative or technical writing. You are also likely to be interested in a broad range subjects, so finding occupations that allow you to exercise these interests would lead to higher work satisfaction for you. Your high score on the Personal Service scale means that you like interacting with others and providing the public with services involving personal contact.
Tip #1: By combining your top interests, you may discover a great career. For example, someone with high scores in Science, Writing, and Assertive scales may enjoy working as an editor of a scientific magazine or journal.

Lowest Interest Scores

Low scores (less than 30) are just as important as high scores. These indicate lack of interest or dislike for certain activities. Understanding what jobs to avoid can save you time and prevent costly career mistakes.

Your lowest score was on Systematic. You dislike routine assignments in which order and persistent, steady effort are required. Job security is not so important to you. Plus, you can tolerate frequent schedule changes and situations in which you must make quick decisions. You also showed low interest on Persuasive, so you wouldn’t be fulfilled with work that involves influencing, advising, counseling, guiding, motivating, or directing the activities of others. Your low score on Assertive means that you wouldn’t enjoy working in situations where you were frequently required to assert authority over others, and to direct and monitor their work.
Tip #2: Consider these interest scores along with what you already know about your own abilities, experiences and values. Interests are only one important component of a career plan that leads to a satisfying and successful career.

Administrative Scores

The following scores show how much confidence can be placed in your test results.

Infrequency Score: Normal Inconsistency Score: Normal
