Need help finding a career aptitude assessment test |
|
It is becoming increasingly evident that I'm going to have to get some more schooling before I can land a job, but I'm not certain I want to stay in IT. However I have no real clue what else I want to do.
Does anyone know where I can go to take some sort of career/personality assessment test? Everything I've seen online seems to be more of a way for web-based schools to collect contact information than a valid test.

1. Where I tool the tests |
|
I took some tests about 15 years ago at a community college that offered "continuing education." We took two or three tests over the course of two Saturdays.
I just retook Myers Briggs a few months ago at the placement office of my former university. I believe it was offered to both alums and current students.
I hope that gives you ideas on where to find the tests.
