assessment online, and here are your results!
This report is based on your answers to 291 questions about what you like to do—your interests.
Your interests suggest a lot about your personality in general, as well as about career fields and
educational programs you might enjoy.
Your results will give you a great deal of information to help you make informed decisions about
your future:

Careers that reflect your interests

Possible education and training programs

Satisfying work environments

Enjoyable activities for your free time
The report provides your Strong results and links to additional information. Read about your top
General Themes and Specific Interests first, then explore the other Themes and interest areas listed
to find more career fields you might like to learn about.

interest areas related to career
fields, occupations, education
and training, and activities you
would likely find rewarding.

your order of interest. The farther down the list a Theme is, the less likely it is to attract you. Just as
before, each Theme links to more information. Click the links even if you are pretty sure the Themes
don’t describe you to see if the additional information may be useful. Think of people you know

The next section of your report suggests Specific Interests that may or may not be related to your
General Themes. The Themes describe you in a very broad way, identifying personality traits and
characteristics of potentially satisfying work environments. Your Specific Interests indicate particular
things you are likely to enjoy doing.

In addition to the 6 General Themes, the Strong gives you information on 30 Specific Interests
and how you rated them. You can use your top interests to explore career fields, school subjects
and college majors, training programs, outside activities—anything that reflects what you like to
do. Although liking something doesn’t guarantee you will be good at it, you are more likely to be
better at things you like to do than at things you don’t enjoy.

you firsthand information about jobs and career paths. You can find people through college and
university alumni offices, professional associations, online networking groups, and local and regional
career centers. Many people will let you “shadow” them while they do their work. This is a terrific
