Online Assessment Tool

Self-assessment is a crucial component in the career-life planning process. It is important to accurately evaluate your skills, interests and values in order to make positive decisions about your major and career choice. The Focus2 online assessment* was chosen for inclusion on this site because of its emphasis on the analysis of values as a means of developing a clearer direction of purpose. Please follow the link below to access the assessment.

FOCUS2 facilitates your ability to evaluate job options based on various self-reported and self-evaluated criteria.

Recommendations for the assessment:

If you wish to complete Focus2 at one sitting, please plan on spending at least an hour and a half at the program. You can, however, pick and choose the phases you wish to access. You may re-enter the program using your self-chosen username and password. Click on the FOCUS2 link above to register for the assessment.

Return to the main Career Development Center website to research majors and/or careers of interest.
