Assessment

O*NET Interest Profiler

The U.S. Department of Labor's 30-item career interest assessment. Rate how you would feel doing each activity and get your Holland code across the six RIASEC interest areas, a research-backed starting point for career counseling and vocational exploration.

There are no right or wrong answers. Rate whether you would enjoy the activity itself; ignore how much training it takes, what it pays, or whether you have ever done it.
