With few exceptions, many, if not most career aptitude tests available online provide results that are more suitable for entertainment purposes than helping identify your personal North Star.

The secret to getting the most out of any professional grade career test is to answer all questions honestly.  Providing answers that reflect your preferences as they stand now, not what they may have been in the past, what you think they may be in the future, or how you think others would like to see you answer, will produce the most meaningful results.  In other words, be true to yourself.

A good career assessment will take into consideration your strengths, interests, aptitudes, and perhaps most importantly, your motivations. Once these are identified you will be able to narrow your career research significantly and make the whole process easier.

Free access to a very insightful career test and the resulting personalized motivational appraisal of personal potential (MAPP) is provided courtesy of JobForge.com. Simply visit http://jobforge.com and click on the career assessment link on the index page or visit http://tinyurl.com/career-test . This career tool will allow you to:

* Find your real motivations, interests, and talents for work

* Identify your ideal careers

* Discover your communication and leadership strengths

The free MAPP report will provide you with your top 5 job matches, which is plenty for many people. If you would like more career suggestions, as well as expanded test results, fee based memberships are available.

You may also find the Jung Typology Test helpful. It should provide you with some additional personal insights. Find it at: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTyp...

After you have identified one or more careers of interest you may find consulting the Occupational Outlook Handbook published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics at http://www.bls.gov/OCO/ helpful. It will give you access to hundreds of different types of jobs—such as teacher, lawyer, and nurse—the Occupational Outlook Handbook tells you:

* the training and education needed

* earnings

* expected job prospects

* what workers do on the job

* working conditions

Good luck finding your path!
