Career Map is a behavioral assessment that measures 33 traits. The report and personal coaching session provide you with the kind of insight it took your parents years to acquire. The more you know about yourself, your abilities and your behavioral tendencies, the better decisions you will make about your personal relationships, education and career choices.
The Career Map report:
- Identifies your strengths and opportunities
- Diagrams your behavioral blueprint
- Offers suggestions for development
- Provides online resources
- Correlates your blueprint to majors that you select (high school juniors and seniors, college students)
Taking the Career Map Assessment:
The value of the output is determined solely by your input. Answer the questions honestly, based on who you are—not who you would like to be.
At times you will be asked to choose between two statements that describe you equally or two statements that don’t describe you at all. Most people identify with one statement slightly more than the other. Choose the one you are more drawn to initially.
When you register for the assessment, you will be asked to choose up to five possible majors. Don’t pick majors randomly. Spend time exploring possible majors by using our interactive program, which can be accessed by clicking on the compass icon.
The major you select first during the registration process should be the one in which you are most interested. A significant portion of the report is dedicated to your first choice of major
Understanding the Results:
Career Map is not a skim-the-surface personality test. You will not get high scores for every behavior. A range of scores is perfectly normal. Depending on what career you choose, high scores in some traits could be a drawback.
Don’t be discouraged if the match to your top major is not as strong as you expected. You have several years to delevlop the opportunity areas that are affecting your score. Your Career Map coach can help you identify these behaviors and set you on a path to improve them.
Strengths: Don’t make the mistake of thinking you do not have to invest in your strengths. Just the opposite is true. Your innate strengths are your sweet spot; they will take you furthest in life. You need to identify your core strengths and use the suggestions in the report to continually develop them.
Opportunities: Behaviors that show up in this section are there because each time you had the opportunity to choose a statement representing this behavior, you mostly preferred something else. It does not mean you do not have the ability to develop this trait. Acting on suggestions in your feedback session as well as exploring the online resources ithe report will help you improve these behaviors.
