Self-assessment is a way to learn more about yourself: what you like, what you don't like, and how you tend to react to certain situations.  Learning about yourself is the first step in finding a good career fit.   

Assessment are tools to help you explore your skills, interests, values, and other traits.  These traits are then matched to a broad list of careers.

Many assessments are available, and none are the same, so it's important to know what it measures, who developed it, is it a trusted source, what kind of results can you expect, how can they be used, and will you have to pay a fee.

The following are some assessments you may want to try:
