Holland Digital Career Interest Assessment (42 Items)

Progaming by Natan Isack

As you explore careers, you should know what skills, talents and personality traits you bring to the workplace. Assessments are fun tools that help you discover what you like and dislike, what you’re good at, and how well your interests match up to different careers. If any assessment gives you a list of careers that is not interesting to you or that you’d never seriously consider, don’t panic. Take a few assessments in high school, talk with a career counselor, and discuss your options with family and friends before making a career decision. The overall goal of any assessment is to get you thinking about careers that you might enjoy. The interest assessment located on the next page is based on Holland’s Interest Inventory. When you’re finished, you’ll have an interest profile that matches your interests to career clusters. This interest assessment is just one of many options. To the right is a list of other assessments available online, which you may want to try taking when you have the time.
