Why take a career test before applying to university?
You have something in mind, but your confidence is not 100%. You've looked on the Internet for majors and universities that you like, but you're still not sleeping well. Doubt you'll make it? Or do your parents disagree with your choice?
Career self-assessment tests have been quite the buzz lately. Maybe you wonder what's so useful about them, or just the thought of taking a test in the summer gives them chills. In fact, career tests are not tests at all. There are no right or wrong answers, nor are they telling you that you have to become a farmer, a geologist or a pilot. Rather, they are tools to help you ask yourself the right questions so you can make the best career choice for yourself.
If you are wondering if career (non)tests make sense and if they will help you with anything, see a few main reasons why it is a good idea to try them:
1. You are not sure if you have chosen the right major
If you are sufficiently informed about the options, but still not sure if you have chosen the best of them, maybe you need to understand more about yourself. It is very important if what you have planned matches your personality, values and attitudes. This is where the career test can help you by showing you what you care about, what your professional interests and strengths are, and how you make decisions.
2. You hesitate between several options
Have you ever asked yourself why you like these majors and professions? What will each of them give you and how will you fit into that field after university? Right there lies the answer to the question of which of the potential choices is the most suitable for you. For this purpose, you need to know not only the objects, but your own personality. And as we already said, the career test will help you do just that!
3. You are interested in learning more about yourself
You must have already understood that the main thing that a good career test gives you is not a recommendation for a specific specialty, but information about yourself. This is super helpful when choosing a career path because it helps you make a truly informed decision. But you know what else self-knowledge can come in handy for? In short – for everything related to your career. It has been proven that aware people are better leaders, communicate more successfully with others, know how to use their strengths and what they have to work on. That's why career tests can be useful to you even after that moment - for example, when applying for an internship or job, and why not after you're already working, to help you be more successful professionally?
4. You want to save time
The career test will direct you directly to those factors that depend on your choice, and will definitely save you some guesswork and some wandering. Let's take values for example - you know how important money is to you, but have you realized what the main things people look for in their work (eg prestige, innovation or achievement) and how far in your personal ranking they are? And do you know which personal qualities are most important for the type of work you will choose - such as flexibility, openness to new experiences and resistance to stress? Have you thought about whether you prefer to plan ahead or think in the short term? Are you more decisive or hesitant? How well developed are your study skills? This is only a small part of the correct questions, and the rest you will find in the career tests.
