Career Assessments
Career assessments are often among the first things that come to mind when people think about career counseling. While there is no assessment that will tell you what you should do, career assessment information can be very useful in helping people make decisions about what to study and how to choose a career.

Myers-Briggs Type Inventory (MBTI)

a variety of possible occupations. Make an appointment to talk to a career counselor
about the MBTI. This assessment is FREE to current Citrus College students.
Strong Interest Inventory (SII)
What types of jobs, leisure activities, people and academic subjects are you most

suggestions about careers that might fit you the best. Make an appointment to talk
to a career counselor about the SII. This assessment is FREE to current Citrus College
