Using Personal Assessment Tools to Chart Your Path [Video]

What do you truly want to be when you grow up, regardless of where you are right now? Or how would you rather be earning a living? To find a career path, and ultimately a job that suits your interests and values, career counselors nationwide offer personality assessment tools such as the Strong Interest Inventory and the SuperStrong.

In "Going Strong," professional development experts (Catherine Rains, Karen Gonzalez, Darrell Mockus and Chris Mackey) explore how and why these assessments work, both for students who may be selecting majors or internships, and for adults who want more fulfillment in their professional as well as personal lives. Watch the video here.

The below video is a great way to get a first-hand feel about the Strong Assessment from the people most passionate about it. To learn more about the SuperStrong assessment on the VitaNavis platform (brought to you by CPP Innovation Labs), visit the webpage here.

"When you're starting off in life or even if you're in the middle of your career, you can learn a lot about yourself just by asking a few questions. Like what kind of hobbies you have, what kind of job titles interest you, what kind of physical tasks do you like to be doing, what kind of people do you like to be around. These questions tell you about your interests, and your vigor and persistence - the drive you have toward reaching those goals."
