Self-Assessments
interests
While the Office of Career and Professional Development does not help you pick classes, we can help you figure out what major would be best for
you based on your strengths and interests. We can also help connect your major to
potential career paths!
This 60-question tool uses information from O*Net (sponsored by the U.S. Department
of Labor) to help determine your interests as they relate to work activities. It will
ask you to rate how much you would enjoy performing particular work tasks like “building
kitchen cabinets,” “laying brick,” and “buying and selling stocks and bonds."
This free personality test gives digestible, simplified results reflective of the
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).

Certified Assessments and 1:1 Coaching
If you are interested in completing a formal career self-assessment, we ask that students
and alumni first meet with a career advisor. Your career advisor will provide instructions
on completing the appropriate assessment and help set up a follow-up appointment to
review your results. You will review your results together and transform the information
into long and short-term career goals with accompanying strategic plans.
Cost
Although assessments traditionally have a charge associated with them, all Chapman
University students and alumni may take these assessments free (with the guidance of one of Chapman's career advisors).
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) assesses your preferences for where you focus
your attention and get energy (introversion or extroversion), the way you take in
information (sensing or intuition), the way you make decisions (thinking or feeling)
and how you orient yourself to the external world (judging or perceiving). With this
information, you can gain insight and clarity into yourself and your values, which
is a great place to begin when planning your educational and career paths!
The Strong Interest Inventory® helps you identify the themes that interest you the
most (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising and Conventional.)
Your career advisor can help you determine options for how to combine your interests
and maximize your sense of personal fulfillment in your professional endeavors.
CliftonStrengths
