Tips to Get the Most Accurate Career Recommendations

Here are eight tips to help you achieve the best results from the Career Clarifier test:

• Test Question Unclear: If you do not fully understand a test question or are unsure how to answer it, use this resource.
• Enjoyment & Ability: When answering each question, think about if you would enjoy or dislike each work activity, as well as your ability to perform it.
• Be Honest with Yourself: Answer each question based on your true thoughts and feelings, not on what you think you should say.
• Don’t Skew Your Answers: If you have specific career ideas in mind, try to answer the questions as honestly as possible, rather than choosing your responses to fit those ideas.
• Be Careful About Allowing Others to Influence Your Answers: Sometimes other people can see us better than we can see ourselves. Sometimes, other people are biased, have an agenda, or don’t know us fully. Remember, this test is about your preferences and choices, not about meeting someone else's expectations.
• Don’t Focus on Earning Potential: Don't let thoughts about your future earnings influence your responses to the test questions.
• Avoid Overthinking: If, after analyzing a test question, you still can’t decide whether you would enjoy the work activity or be able to perform it, trust your gut instinct - your initial reaction to the question is often the most accurate.
• Be Open to Discovery: You might uncover work activities, skills, and interests you had not known about or considered before.
