When taking any test, it is recommended that you see a counselor first to discuss both the career process and receive assistance in the selection of the appropriate inventory. In all instances, you should arrange a follow-up meeting with a counselor to get help in the interpretation of the test. The COP System is designed to help you in planning your career.
