Interest Profiler – A career exploration tool, based on the O*NET Interest Profiler, that helps individuals identify the occupations they are most interested in. Individuals identify and learn about broad interest areas most relevant to them. The Interest Profiler measures six types of occupational interests based on Holland’s R-I-A-S-E-C Interest Structure (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional). The resulting interest areas allow the individual to identify occupations of interest by Job Zone (preparation time) from Little/No job preparation to Extensive job preparation. The assessment takes less than 30 minutes to complete. Requires account log-in/registration to save results.
Account Log-in – Allows users of the CareerGPS.com website to create their own account within the website.
