Explore Your Interests / Self Assessments
Assessments provide a quick, research-backed way to deepening your self-awareness. With assessments, you can gain language and personal understanding that can help guide job searches, improve resumes, and aid in the interview process. However, no assessment can definitively tell you what to do with your life or how to do it. Assessments serve as ways of learning, creating information you can access for personal growth and success.
There are countless personality assessments out there. Assessments should give you information about yourself that holds true over a long period of time (years, not days). They should give you information that allows you to not only know yourself more, but to apply the learning toward areas of growth.
Assessments provide language to help you answer, “who am I?”.
Here are the assessments you have access to at IWU (along with free, professional coaching sessions):
This assessment focuses on your natural talents by defining your top five strengths and giving you action steps toward using them more in daily life.
This assessment looks at your natural preferences, deepening your understanding of how you gain and lose energy and how you engage with the world around you.
This is less of an assessment and more of a tool for self-awareness. While there is no “test” to take, this tool allows you to discover your deeper motivations and explore how they shape your actions.
This assessment is focused on what careers might fit best based on your preferences and work styles.
This assessment helps you identify your spiritual gifts and how you might apply them to personal, team, and community development.
There are many other assessments that provide valuable information that we could recommend. If you are interested in pursuing these or any other assessments, please reach out to lifecallingcareer@indwes.edu or schedule an appointment to learn more.
