online assessments

Some self-assessment instruments can be accessed using the Internet. Some of these assessments are formal in nature. They have been subjected to scientific rigor and in-depth research to determine the validity of the instruments.

Career counselors, who have been trained to administer and interpret the results, usually use formal self-assessment instruments.

Some of these self-assessments are free of charge, some give a partial free assessment and others charge a fee. You can access these instruments by using the web links below:
