Career tests aren’t perfect as they can oversimplify people’s complex personalities and preferences. In addition, while tests may determine results based on current skills, an individual can always learn new skills if they have a career goal in mind. Finally, a person’s answers can be influenced by their particular mood or current circumstances – or their desire to achieve a particular outcome – which can lead to inaccurate results. That said, career surveys are a starting point in an individual’s career path journey, and are even more helpful when used in conjunction with a career counselor or mentor.
