Strong Interest Inventory
The Strong Interest Inventory instrument is a powerful tool that can help you make satisfying decisions about your career and education. Whether you are just starting out in your career, thinking about a change, or considering education options for career preparation, you can benefit from the wealth of information reflected in your results. Understanding and using your results will help you identify a career focus and begin your career planning and exploration process.
The Strong Interest Inventory asks questions about a person’s level of interest in various occupations, activities, hobbies, leisure activities, school subjects and types of people. The report produced after taking the Strong Interest Inventory:
- describes your interests, work activities, potential skills, and personal values in six areas
- identifies specific interest areas within the six broad areas, indicating areas likely to be most motivating and rewarding for you
- compares your likes and dislikes with those of people who are satisfied working in various occupations, indicating your likely compatibility of interests
- describes preferences related to work style, learning, leadership, risk taking, and teamwork, providing insight into work and education environments most likely to fit you best
Keep in mind that the Strong measures interests, not skills or abilities
