STRONG Interest Inventory
|
|
The Strong measures your interests in a broad range
of occupations, work activities, leisure activities, and school
subjects. Its validity and reliability far exceed those of any
other interest inventory.
The test itself lists many jobs, activities, school subjects,
and so forth, and asks whether you like, are indifferent to, or
dislike each of them. Your answers are compared with the answers
given by people already working in a wide range of jobs, and your
scores will show how similar your interests are to the interests
of those people. The Strong is not a test of your abilities; it
is an inventory of your interests. Your results will be presented
to you later on a Strong Interest Inventory report. The report
will provide information to help you understand your results.
For McMurry students, the Strong and counsultation are provided
free by the Career Services office. For non-McMurry students the
fee for each visit is $10 ($10 to administer the test, $10 for
career counseling, etc...) This test is given by appointment only.
To make an appointment, contact Sandy Lane in the Counseling &
Career Services office at (325) 793-4880.
