WELCOME TO THE INTEREST PROFILER

Click here if you would like to re-load a form you filled out previously

The Interest Profiler helps you find out what your interests are and how they relate to the world of work. It does this by asking you to answer questions that represent important interest areas. Your Interest Profiler scores will help you identify your strongest work-related interests. Knowing your work interests can help you decide what kinds of jobs and careers you want to explore.

You should use your Interest Profiler results to explore the world of work and identify occupations that can satisfy your particular interests. You will be able to look at the interests satisfied by occupations and compare them to your own interests. Talk to a vocational/employment counselor or teacher for more help on how to use your Interest Profiler results.

Your Interest Profiler results should not be used for employment or hiring decisions.

Employers, education programs, or other job-related programs should not use your results as part of a screening process for jobs or training.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you press the Submit button at the bottom of this online form when you are finished.
