The assessments that are easiest to use and take the greatest advantage of the Internet s capabilities are fully interactive. You check off boxes or circles with your mouse, click a Submit button, and poof, you get results. Non-interactive assessments generally need to be printed out, completed, and scored manually. While some online assessments are primarily personality tests, the results have applications in the career realm, suggesting that people with certain personalities are best suited to certain careers. Others are highly detailed interpretations.
Some assessments are totally free.
Others provide one level of results for free but offer more detailed results for a fee. Like Bolles, Oliver and Zack, we can t offer much objectivity or scientific research about which ones are best. We can judge only by our own experiences and those of our students. Our subjective opinions, along with links to the assessments, are available both in our career assessments section, as well as in this Online Assessment Review Table . One of our very favorite assessments is Ansir's 3 Sides of You Self Perception Profiling System.
