What is the "Strong Interest Inventory®" and how does it work?

The Strong measures an individual’s interest in a wide range of occupations, work activities, leisure activities, and school subjects, and compares how these interests are similar to the interests of people who report being happy and successful in their jobs. The Strong is used to help people understand their work interests and to illustrate the kinds of work they might find comfortable.

If you are wondering if the "Strong Interest Inventory®" would be helpful for you, consider the following questions:

• Are you a high school or college student interested in exploring   career options?

• Are you looking for more job satisfaction?
• Are you a high school student trying to choose the appropriate   education or training?
• Are you a college student trying to identify a major?
• Are you trying to find a balance between work and leisure?
• Are you considering making a change but aren’t sure if you want   to change careers or start your own business?

What information will you get from taking the "Strong Interest Inventory®"?

Types of work environments that best “fit” for you. 4. Type of people you are most likely to work well with. 5. Types of work tasks you are most likely to enjoy.

• Information to help you choose a major or explore new career fields.

• The Strong Interest Inventory® will point out some patterns of interests that you have and recommend some career areas to explore, it will NOT tell you one specific career field to pursue.
