Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How is careertyping different from other personality assessments?

A. Careertyping is unique, as it examines both your behavioral traits (strengths, needs, and leadership traits) and occupational interests. It is important to have both data points when deciding which careers are best for you, because who you are as an individual is equally important as what you enjoy doing. You will gain valuable insights about your personality, occupational interests, natural leadership traits, and tips for approaching your interview that are all custom to you!

Q: I reviewed my careertyping report—what should I do next?

A. Take time to review your report data and respond to the Career Synthesis and Type Your Story sections of the report. Make sure to explore your career options in O*Net by clicking on the job title links in the report.

After you’ve done your research and hypothesized about your future path, talk it over with those close to you to get their perspective. Consider previous experiences you’ve found energizing and inspiring. With these data points, you can then start to refine your career plan.

Q: What if my dream job is not a top career match in my report?

A. Just because you don’t have a high match to your dream job doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t continue to pursue that career. We encourage you to talk with individuals in the field to learn more about the “ins and outs” and see if it’s what you’re expecting. Consider things like: your motivations may be different from other people in that field, you may bring a different set of strengths to the occupation than most people do, or you may face different challenges in your career than others do.
