The ASVAB Career Exploration Program includes a validated aptitude test and interest assessment. The results are used to guide career exploration using their career planning tools and resources.
Identify your skills and interests, explore all of your options, inside and outside of the military.
Career assessment tests are usually put into two broad categories:
- Career aptitude tests—assess your strengths and weaknesses to suggest career and college major ideas
- Career interests tests—evaluate your likes and dislikes to help you choose a career or a college major
Depending on the test, questions will ask about:
- Skills
- Values
- Work style
- Likes and dislikes
- Personality traits
Most tests consist of a number of multiple-choice questions. There are usually four answers to choose from. Other tests ask that students choose whether the statements applies to them completely, not at all, or to a lesser or greater extent. The “neutral” option should also be available if you are undecided on some statements.
Try these assessments to start:
Interest Assessment A quick 30-question assessment that identifies your interests and matches them to careers
Skills Matcher Identifies your skills and matches them to careers that use those skills
Work Values MatcherHelps you identify the qualities that are most important to you in a career and the place you work
