Career tests

 - Career tests are widely available in books, online, and through career advisors.

- These tests offer guidance and insight for career choosers or changers.

- However, they only provide a limited view of personality traits and interests.

- Career tests do not typically measure specific skills.

- Some tests can be manipulated to fit desired career choices.

- People who are undecided about careers may appear undecided in their test results.

- While tests can offer helpful information, it is often incomplete.

- Look for clues, hunches, or suggestions rather than expecting a definitive answer.

- Interest-based career tests reflect your current self-knowledge and cannot predict future skills or talents.

- Interpret test results carefully with the help of a skilled counselor to avoid being misled.

- Career tests can shape ideas but won't provide all the answers.

- Be cautious of any charges associated with online tests.

- Recommended tests include Dr. Martin Seligman's assessments on Authentic Happiness and the University of Missouri's Career Interests Game.
