and Wills, 2004).

workforce development programmes, at home

Types Of Career Interest Inventory

- determines professional strengths and areas of

weakness / disinterest allows users to find

compatible careers that highlight personal strong

points- provides a career type

based on several characteristics

(extroversion, introversion, sensing, intuition, feeling,

perceiving, thinking, judging)

- combines the results and allows users to see what work environments and conditions are similar to

their specific type

STRONG Interest Inventory - 1927

psychological career test

- compares your interests & dislikes to people working

happily in 122 different occupations

- if you share similar likes & dislikes with people that

enjoy doing their job, you might enjoy that job as well

understand how those interests fit into the world of work, give some general ideas of careers to explore

The "Holland Code" system - 1970's

interest based career test

different types of work (Realistic, Investigate,

Artistic, Social, Enterprising, Conventional) RIASEC

- most tests will show you your top scoring 2 / 3 letters

"Holland Code"- from that, you can look up

a list of matching careers- e.g.: if your Holland Code was R-I, then the careers that match your interests

would be a combination of "Realistic" (physical, hands

on work) and "Investigative" (technical, scientific)

Analysing Career InterestInstructions / Questions that a teacher can give to pupils:

• Make a note of the activities you most enjoy and why you find them interesting.

• Among these interests, is there one which gives you more satisfaction than others?

• What do you spend most time on now?

• Are there any interests that you would like to develop or to spend more time on?

• The effort, commitment and motivation that a person brings to a job is usually in direct proportion to the values that they perceive in it.

• The values are likely to be the main factor in deciding on a career, or a career path within a particular field of employment.
