- Birkman Career Style Summary
A short quiz that can help you determine what career fields and jobs best match your personal strengths. Offers links to career information within The Princeton Review. - The Keirsey Temperament Sorter
Identifies your personality type based on a theory of "psychological types." Provides information about your self, indicating how you may interact with your world. - Jung - Myers-Briggs Typology
Very similar to the Keirsey Sorter. Additional links provide information including famous people whose personality types are similar to yours and some possible career suggestions. - Career Management International's Kingdomality
An opportunity for you to learn more about your vocational preferences by identifying your medieval vocational personality. This site is just for fun on most levels, but does offer plenty of good insight. - The Career Interests Game
This page really isn't an assessment. Instead, it describes John Holland's theory of personality and career development. At the bottom of the page, you'll find links to each of the six types. These links provide information about careers related to each personality type. - Locus of Control and Attributional Style Inventory
This test assesses your locus of control orientation and your attributional style. Locus of control orientation refers to our beliefs about whether the outcomes of our actions depend on what we do (internal control orientation) or on events outside our personal control (external control orientation). Our attributional style determines which forces we hold responsible for our successes and failures. Both locus of control and attributional styles have great influence on our motivation, expectations, self-esteem, risk-taking behavior, and even on the actual outcome of our actions.
