Entry 8. How useful are online self assesstment tests

        Self-assessment tests are helpful tools for our learning more about ourselves, such as our interests, values, talents and skills. The tests also include a list of possible careers for our personality type, based on aspects of us that match aspects of these jobs. Assessment tests can’t determine the best career for us but we can use the suggestions as a guide in our job search. There are a variety of tests available for different aspects of your personality. For instance, you could select one designed to determine your values, one to test for your work style or another for discovering your interests. You can find self-assessment tests in books on career guidance or you can take a test online.
