Career Assessment & Exploration Tools & Resources

What are career assessments?

  • Tools to discover more about who you are and assist you in making useful and insightful career choices.
  • Career assessments also give you an opportunity to explore career and college major options.

Assessments offered at Red Rocks Community College

  • Myers-Briggs Personality Profile (also known as the MBTI): The Myers-Briggs looks at your personal preferences in four areas of your life: what gives you energy, how you learn, how you make decisions, and how you get things done. You will receive a career report on your psychological type with a list of careers based on your personality preferences. This report will list job families and specific careers based on your responses. The Myers-Briggs is the most widely utilized career assessment tool in use worldwide today. Millions of individuals have benefited from its results, and it has been translated into 30 languages worldwide.
     
  • Strong Interest Inventory: The Strong looks at how your interests relate to those who are satisfied in their careers. You will be presented with a detailed report that includes a list of occupations based on your interests and responses.
