Career Guidance

In today's First Business section, we pointed you to CareerJournal, the Wall Street Journal's compendium of job-related articles in advice. A recent article the site had on career assessment tests reminded us of come of our favorite free tests:


  • Career Focus 2000 Interest Inventory - Designed for students and career-switching adults, the career focus helps identify which jobs you'd enjoy the most.
  • Myers-Briggs Personality Type Test - This classic test (or, more accurately, an informal version thereof, since full-fledged versions cost money) will help you figure out how you best deal with people and jobs.
  • Kingdomality Personal Preference Profile - Wonder what you would have done in the Middle Ages? Ever think about how the personalities of the ideal king or perfect knight would fit into today's work world?

Of course, these are all business-related quizzes, ones that could perhaps actually help you in your career. Since this isn't a Livejournal, we'll refrain from telling you figure out which Buffy character you are or anything of that sort.
