* Strong Interest Inventory®— This inventory takes about 30 minutes to complete and results in a 15 page computer generated report revealing career recommendations based solely on interests. This is one of the most respected and widely used career planning instruments in the world. It is based on the work of Dr. John Holland’s theory of career types.
* Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)®—This 30 minute self- report paper and pencil inventory is one of the most widely used personality instruments in the world today that utilizes Carl Jung’s theory of psychological types. By learning which of 16 personality types into which a person fits, a person can find a better fit for a career and work setting.
Taking several assessments provides an individual concise information about themselves and their career choices. Like a “Capability CAT scan:” information is revealed from these assessments that a person might not necessarily have known without them. Pricing is dependent on which assessments are chosen.
After taking any of the three assessments, a trained professional provides a two hour coaching session. Included in this discussion are the results of the assessments, diagnosing past career issues, and a plan of career goals, strategies, areas of exploration, and a personalized report utilizing all of the assessments. Individual coaching following the session is also available and utilized by most participants.
