Career Interest and Personality Inventory - Administration and Interpretation

For those wishing to identify additional information about themselves and their options, School of Medicine PhD and MD students, post docs, and fellows may meet with an advisor to determine if one or both of the following formal career assessments may be helpful:

Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
The MBTI uses a 4-letter code to help those taking the assessment identify their personal preferences for decision making and interacting with the world.   This information may then translate into professional fit and interests. 

Strong Interest Inventory (SII)
The SII compares a person’s professional, leisure, and educational interests with those employed in particular fields.  Based on similar interest patterns, the test can be used to evaluate potential interest and satisfaction in various occupations.  

The MBTI and SII can be taken online at no cost and results must be obtained and reviewed in a consultation appointment.  To get assessment directions and make an appointment to review results, come to the School of Medicine Career Center.
