Interest Profiler
The O*NET Interest Profiler is a self-assessment, career exploration tool that can help you discover the type of work activities and occupations that you may like and find exciting. The tool is made up of 60 items describing work activities. You will be asked to quickly rate your interest in each activity. The result of this will be a profile that helps you see how your self-knowledge and interest relate to possible careers.
The assessment takes approximately 20 minutes to complete. It includes an introductory section, questions about interests, a Job Zone section, a Score Report and a Career List.
