About this Test

Use the Career Interest Profiler & Canadian Career Interest Profiler assessments to help clients identify top career choices, clarify their interests and relate them to work and career options.

Identify top career choices. Anyone searching for career direction will find this tool helpful. The Career Interest Profiler (CIP) was developed to help people clarify their interests and relate them to work and career options. Based on over two years of research on over 17,000 individuals, the CIP was designed to clarify the types of activities a person enjoys and highlight occupations where these interests can be met.

Use the CIP for career discovery, academic goal-setting and mid-career transition, workforce re-entry, retirement planning and entrepreneurial exploration. The CIP measures six traits and suggests 20-40 top careers that fit the test taker’s interests.
