Completing a free, online career interest inventory can help identify not only your career interests, but also your ideal academic major as it may relate to your career goals. A career counselor at the Center for Human Development is available to help you interpret the results of your career interest inventory and offer guidance on ways to use the results of a career interest inventory in identifying career and academic goals. Call 207-778-7034 to schedule an appointment with a career counselor to discuss the results of your career self-assessments.

The Career Key (password = 44W5) is a career interest inventory that provides you with a three-letter career code that reflects your career interests. At the end of the profile, the Career Key will provide you with numerical scores in each of the following categories: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. To find your three-letter career code, write down your top-three categories in descending order. Thus, a person who scored Realistic (5), Investigative (9), Artistic (1), Social (8), Enterprising (5), and Conventional (10) has a three-letter career code of CIS or Conventional-Investigative-Social.

► Learn about careers associated with the top-scoring letter of your career code by clicking on the career-code categories below:

Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional (Scroll down on each page to see careers associated with the first letter of your career code. Each career listing is linked to a career profile where you can read about the nature of the work, salary potential of the job, and general outlook on the profession.)

► The Typefocus.com personality assessment provides a four-letter code that reflects personality preferences. Once you complete the Typefocus.com inventory, write down your four-letter code and read more about your personality profile and career interest profile.
