Customer Reviews

Good for self-exploration

This is s good book to use if you have an idea of what you enjoy, but are not fixed on any particular career. The book is loaded with mini quizzes on your own personality and preferences. Some of the categories are: Career Activities Scale, Career Values Scale, Work Commitment Scale, Stress at Work Scale, and so on. The author does not go on and on about himself, the feedback comments were completely inaccurate in that regard. I would recommend this book to someone who wants to change careers and is not sure in which direction to go, high schoolers and homemakers returning to the work force. The scoring is not hard to follow if one pays attention to the instructions.

Career Tests

I think the other reviewers missed the point of this book. It is intended to help job seekers familiarize themselves with the kinds of tests employers might give them. I found the tests interesting and the commentary extremely helpful. I think it should be required reading for all high school students.
